Backblaze Reviews in February 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

My main backup solution

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? All I did was set up the tool on my computer. It automatically backs up files so there’s no need to do anything. This tool does its job while I do mine. It is reliable, comprehensive, and simple. It also provides a private key for the backed up files, which I like because it gives me peace of mind knowing that no one other than the one who holds the key can access the files. The unlimited storage is also incredible considering that ...

Affordable, reliable and easy to set up

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? There is no need to worry about losing or accidentally deleting a file. Backblaze automatically backs up the files I have on my computer (and even the files on the external hard drive that I often attach to the computer) and store it in the cloud. And because the files are in the cloud, they can be accessed and retrieved with ease. On top of that, Backblaze sends me an email whenever I forgot to attach the drive or turn the computer ...

I definitely love Backblaze!

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? It offers unlimited backup cloud storage at an affordable price. I was able to transfer the backup to another computer (the process is simple and seamless). The upload time is fast. I am using Mac and it hooks right up to the System Preference, eliminating the need to open a separate app. Overall, Backblaze offers everything I was looking for a backup service (fast simple and reliable) that I can use to back up lots of files (6TB) to ...

garbage

steer clear from this *hitty service, I opened an account and was unable to activate the 2fa(which is required in this site), contacted their support which was both useless and pathetic, just glad I found out before backing up my data there and paying for their *hitty product and service

They still have some stuff to sort out

They still have some stuff to sort out, but the service works. It helped me through a ransomware attack around a month ago, and I'm very happy

A great, affordable backup solution with unlimited storage

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? First and foremost, there’s a 15-day trial which allowed me to see what this solution is capable of. It has helped me decide whether or not it is worth my money. Next, the solution is very easy to use and simple. It automatically and constantly backs up all my files so there’s no need to worry about forgetting to back up a certain document or project. Aside from that, the storage is unlimited. It is also pretty cheap. I am just paying ...

Helpful, simple and effective system

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Setting up BackBlaze is very simple, it allows me to select drives and files. I love the control panel feature, it provides me with information of how much I have backed up and it provides me with assurance that my files are save. I can keep private key encryption on the uploaded files. It doesn’t have lot of costs for thumb drives and hard drives and it has simple download and restore system. It allows me to do full restore quickly. ...

Not going well

Not going well. At first just too slow. I have the fastest internet Xfinity provides and still was backing up just a few gig per day. (I have 4.8T of data so that wasn't going to be ok). Upgrade yesterday. So excited. Woke up this morning and my hard drive had been "ejected" during my sleep so nothing backed up. Reconnected and let it run all day. Came home to a dark screen frozen MacBook Pro. Had to do a reboot and saw Backblaze had only backed up 87 MB before downing my entire computer. ...

Great cloud storage solution

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? BackBlaze is great product for backing up to a cloud that I currently use to back up image files and SQL Databasles from servers. It has easy interface and it allows me to sync via NAS Synology Rackstation where my local backups reside. It’s great when is set as a task to a backup directly to this cloud. What aspects are problematic or could work better? When I have large size folder the speed is slow, and what concerns me is the ...

Extremely cheap cloud storage

Extremely cheap cloud storage. That's it. Of course you have to have some technical ability but I've never found a cheaper solution than their B2 cloud storage.
