Dodgy billing practices The Good: I've found Backblaze to be unobtrusive and just gets on doing its thing in the background. When I've needed to restore files, it's worked. The bad: There is no way to cancel auto-renewal of the subscription without deleting your backup and stopping your service the day you stop the auto-renewal. Pick your word for this: dodgy, wrong, unethical, robbery.

Unreliable I have been a subscriber for several years. My two computers are fully backed up but a lot of data seems to be missing. Due to size I cannot restore my files while i can back them up. Makes sense. I can only buy 2 backup drives for more than 400 dollars of which i will get most back if I return them but being in Belgium the shipping will already be substantial. I just want to restore in the same way that i can backup.

What an awful service What an awful service. Their backup client is terrible, expensive, and so slow it's worthless. I regret signing up with this useless service.

Woeful product and even worse customer service. AVOID!! The one time I needed to use the download function, their software does not work and then the backup was missing lot of important files from months earlier even though it was on continuous backup. Their customer service is a joke. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs

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.
