Unreliable For Business Use Unreliable For Business Use We used Backblaze, but they closed our account due to a fake DMCA complaint without verifying its validity or checking for the existence of files in our account. Their customer support is unreliable and often response is computer-generated AI nonsense. I wouldn't recommend using them despite their good pricing model. We were not even given the chance to move our files. Luckily we have a backup with Digitalocean otherwise we were secrewed.

Absolutely an useful service! The service is a nightmare. It works very slowly when restoring files and uses a questionable cost calculation method. I was charged $1500 instead of the $99 for my yearly plan. I recommend avoiding this service due to its lack of usefulness and poor support quality.

Only useful in some cases Pros: very fast, doesn't hog CPU or memory like CrashPlan Cons: deleted files are only retained for 30 days. Backblaze is essentially only useful in cases where a hard drive completely fails / external hard drive is physically broken. If a hard drive starts slowly corrupting over time, or if you accidentally delete files and don't realize it within the 30 day limit, you're screwed. Absolutely useless in those cases.

Best unlimited backup provider in 2023 No idea what most people on here are complaining about, if you check at least once a week, which takes ten seconds, to see if the backup is actually progressing, there will be no issues when restoring later down the line. The 500GB zip limit makes sense to some extend, since this solution is not meant for storing 10's of terabytes as some gladly would use it. I had no problems over the years and recommend them as a good backup provider for a good cost per month.

Great product, terrible customer service 👎 As others have commented, there are no longer live chat or phone options. This company grew a lot thanks to us customers, and now they are "too big for us". E-mail support is lacking. For example, I have recently had an open case for 14 days, without an answer. Finally when I did get an answer, it was irrelevant to my request, and a follow-up reply was an exact copy-paste duplicate. Stop spitting into the well you drink from. Bring back direct support, or else the growth we all gave you would soon be gone.
