I have been using Backblaze for a while…

I have been using Backblaze for a while now, but won't anymore. The service have become unreliable and expensive. There is also zero accountability, forget about talking to someone who will actually be willing to address your questions / concerns. I don't know what have changed at Backblaze, but things don't work like it used to. Previously, about a year ago, I had to restore all my files. I could do this directly from their server while working, with a slower internet connection than what ...

Great for two years. Then a hard drive with a lifetime of photos crashed.

I thought it was great for two years. Then a hard drive with a lifetime of photos crashed. At first, it looked good Backblaze had all my folders and subfolders there online. But as soon as I went to download them, I got nothing. Understand the Backblaze program has told me back up complete every time I ran it. I found Backblaze Tech support not only to be useless. But also insulting. If you decide to use them good luck.

No File Explorer or Finder integration

No File Explorer or Finder integration. Inflexible all-or-nothing approach . Slow. Can't view or share files from backup.I can't even get mine set up, there's loads of problems and customer service never got to the bottom of any of it despite many snotty emails from them telling me 'it's simple, follow these 348585746523 steps and fix it yourself' it's horrible and I wish I hadn't paid for 2 years because it's pointless and I have no control of it and can't look at my back ups or file ...

Yuck!

Yuck!Just like everyone else's submission.It is great until you need to access your information.I couldn't download the file they sent with my backup information. They sent me a "downloader" to expedite and assist. That never worked. Each time you email, it is from a different person and that person never reads the string, nor do they read the entire email or look at the screenshots you sent. What a waste of money.Oh, did they mention they never give refunds?They're too greedy for that.

This is not a fully fuinctioning cloud…

This is not a fully fuinctioning cloud backup service as suggested. Restore options are limited and it is only possible to restore from days they offer... i.e. hours, days up to a week and then exact weeks... so you can;;t for example restore a file from 11 days ago!!! This is nuts and means it is only useful as a full backup restore option not selective. As full restore it is VERY slow over the internet whatever your connection!

Backblaze or Blackdaze? Very good - until you need it!

Until you need to restore files, everything seems fine - which could be why magazine reviews are generally positive. (Or are there other, more commercial reasons?GOOD POINTS: Works without glitches as far as saving files automatically to the cloud, using the parameters you give it. But that's it!BAD POINTS: When I needed it, after a hard drive crash, files became difficult-to-impossible to retrieve. Okay, individual files can be restored but I have half-a-TB of data there. Here's what ...

Works great, easy to setup and cheap

What do you like best? Backblaze is a great automatic cloud backup storage tool that allows me to rest easy in knowing that all my files are backed up and can be easily retrieved should my hard drive crash or I delete a file that I discover I need again. I love that I can attach an external hard drive to the computer and that will also be backed up regularly. If you forget to turn the computer on or attach the external hard drive for a couple weeks, Backblaze also emails to remind you to ...
