I welcome any additional recommendations for other options. And while yes recovery does cost money, in most cases there would be no more than 250GB of data to recover (and that's way over-estimating it), at $0.01 per GB that is still only $2.50 for recovery.Īm I missing something about the B2 plan that makes it more expensive, or unsuitable for this use? Is it difficult to manage? Does it require a registered business? Does it not support workstations? Their website has pricing at $0.005 per gb per month, so even at 1TB that is cheaper than the unlimited plan (though I may be missing some kind of minimum size).
I am also taking a look at the B2 pricing, and it seems like for smaller amounts if data, that might actually be the better value. Can anyone here share their own experience with using the client to back up their own data? Also, do they allow proper versioning, or only the most recent version (this is specifically related to ransomware, I want to make sure it can't also overwrite the backups). I expect that the largest drive size willl be 1TB, and even then it is extremely unlikely that that will get anywhere close to full (things like game directories will be excluded from backups since those are easy to re-download from steam).īut, I need to know: is it reliable? As in, can I install the client and be sure it will continue to back things up regularly, and will make noise if it isn't (preferably via an email notification to me and/or the end user). This will not be a massive amount of data. no image backups, but still backs up files). I do have acronis cyber protect on my list, but I was hoping to have a cheaper option as well (less features obviously, e.g. Fortunately I was able to recover the data both times, but on one of them I had to pull out the drive and just pray that the water hadn't killed it.Īs a result, I am looking for a proper cloud-based backup service that I can recommend.
Unfortunately, twice now I have had incidents where OneDrive stopped syncing at some point, and as a result there were over a year of files missing when I tried to restore the data. In the past, I usually just set up onedrive file syncing and assumed that would be enough. I am currently looking for a good cloud backup (not sync) service that I can recommend to friends and family.įor some background, I am the family tech guy, so I often set up computers and make recommendations for family members and also sometimes friends. I figured this would be the best place to ask this, since I know a lot of people here store large amounts of data in backblaze.
