TERRIBLE customer support This service is the WORST! Expensive and their crappy Zendesk support is a joke. No way to contact them via phone. They're supposed to be available via chat during business hours, but I've been trying for WEEKS to get assistance. They just send links to outdated Help articles with poorly written, incomplete instructions.

Good service, but canceling is ridiculously difficult 4star because their customer support pulled through. I kept subscribing for months after my computer died, because the process for canceling was way harder than it should be. I finally got my act together and asked for backup of my data on a $204 1TB drive. I had some issues recovering data that if unresolved, which would have resulted in a 1star review, but within 1 day their support gave me a workable solution and I am satisfied. The process for canceling service is ridiculously tough, and I checked through 3-4 different options and it seemed to work, but I don’t know if I checked too many or not enough. Regardless, it worked out, and if I needed an automatic backup in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to consider Backblaze.

It sucks It sucks! massive price increases and all kinds of sleazy tacktings to prevent you from cancelling the renewal.

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.

Great to upload, impossible to restore Awful, the download speeds (and reliability) mean I haven't been able to successfully download a file for a year and have now just deleted and given up. So poor, go to iDrive, bigger limits and faster restores that work.
