My EHD crashed and burned and I had to…

My EHD crashed and burned and I had to rely on my BackBlaze back up to recover years and years of photos, videos and photoshop work. The process to download it all was tedious because I had to break up chunks due to large file sizes. Now that I'm several weeks past the final back up, I'm realizing that I'm missing tons of individual files (mostly seems to be photos) and I'm devastated that I don't have them. The backup through BackBlaze was supposed to ensure I had them.

I've had BB for a few years now

I've had BB for a few years now. I only recently have had an issue. My iMac hd crashed after 10 years! I have a new one now and need my info off the old backed up HD. I did the inherit thing they suggested and it is taking forever. I thought I would just be adding anything new to the old back up in the cloud, but, it has been backing up my new hd for over a week. It only hasGB of data on the new HD! What is going on!? I have gone over my data usage and it still isn't done! I can't talk to ...

Simply not fit for purpose

Simply not fit for purpose. Unreliable and inconsistent, constantly dropping the connection and not reliably backing up files. Has taken up a huge amount of my time attempting to resolve all the various issues, and help/support was poor. Online backup needs to be fit and forget, otherwise what's the point? Honestly, this software fails on pretty much every count. I've wasted my money as they lock you in for 1-2 years and won't refund unless you cancel within the first 30 days. Avoid.

Can't trust backblaze

I have been using backblaze for 6 months but can no longer trust it. First there was an inconsistency in November, resulting in a system freeze that I spent about an hour sorting out. Now, worse, I have an email saying 'missing computer - 14 days' which should happen if you are disconnected from the internet for a period. However, I have NOT been disconnected from the internet and Backblaze on my Mac says I am completely up to date! I have gone online to check and sure enough, recent files ...

They didn't held what they promised

They breached what they promised - I was on a long vacation so after my debit card was not fully charged they deleted my whole data. (They only tried charged my card once)I was only informed twice 5 and 1 day in advance.I asked for a full refund, I will post updates here.On their info-site "articles/219361957-B2-Non-payment-procedures"here they state they would inform me every 5 days!NEVER AGAIN!Also, their client sucks hard! You have to wait hours in order for the update process to start. ...

Immediate deletion of data after renewal doesn't go through

After 1 year subscription there was an issue running the payment (because yeah new cards get issued all of the time). They literally sent me one email to remind me, then the second email threatened to delete my data. This is ridiculous, in the past I've lost ALL of my data before due to this ridiculous fast escalation tactic. Of course if you try to get in touch with the company about it you just get robo-email. Add to this the fact that it may literally take an entire week just to backup ...

Very happy so far

Very happy so far. I had them for about 3 years.I never had to restore anything yet. But the software and the tech support are very good. I just reformatted the computer and their response was less than 24hs.The value too. Pretty impressed actually.

Very poor interface, worse support

No phone support at all not even in the case of trying to do disaster recovery. Interface and processes are *not* intuitive, making the lack of support even more onerous. - process of trying to recover files is a time-consuming nightmare, requiring DAYS - yup, that's right, DAYS.

They lost my data

They lost my data. There was a billing issue with the credit card on file and I did not receive any email warning that the account was in jeopardy. I am fairly certain it wasn't a spam filter issue because I had gotten account related and payment emails from them for previous credit card failures due to re-issued credit cards. The big issue is that they don't archive your data and there is no way to recover it once your account and it's data has been deleted. So whether there's a user or ...

Don't understand the bad reviews

I just came here to leave a review because of yet another positive experience with Backblaze's customer services team and I'm really surprised at the negative reviews. I've only ever had very minor problems with this service, which they have always sorted out for me within 24 hours. The backup works extremely well for my personal needs (less than 1 TB data) and I've been able to download and restore files when needed with no problems. Maybe it is different if you have huge amounts of data ...
