Unreliable; backblaze LOSES LOTs of files!! I have had the year plan for a year, on 1 computer, with 1 big external drive, about 1.3 TB of total data. But whenever that drive was disconnected, Backblaze would begin deleting its backed up files, after just 2 days! The Backblaze docs claim that it will hold my files for 30 days, but it begins losing or deleting them after just 1 or 2 days!! I have contacted support a year ago about this, but nothing was improved, the problem persisted constantly. It was also extremely difficult to cancel the recurring $99!

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 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.

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.

I used Backblaze for a year, never again. I used Backblaze for a year. The install was simple and service worked flawlessly. The problem came when I found I was not going to need the service for awhile. When I got a renewal notice, I went to disable autorenewal but there was no such option. The only option is is cancel the service and give up the time you've already paid for or, wait till exactly the renewal date, remember log in and cancel or you get autorewed. The response from customer support was basically FU, live with it. This is a classic website dark pattern, one the CFPB has recently put out notice on. Any company employing this sort of unethical pattern will never get my business again as their management clearly have a broken ethical compass.
