Opiniones de Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

I've used Backblaze for years with mixed results with regard to using it as a backup for computer files. For the most part I've moved to Google drive for that because it works much better for my use case. But what I really like Backblaze for is remotely backing up my cpanel production servers. We used to use Amazon S3 to backup our servers. But it was a little expensive. Backblaze is way cheaper than AWS and just as easy to set up and even easier to use if you need to access files.

The smart phone app can be a little buggy at times when trying to connect or download files.

Nothing

i can't recommend this provider, slow and expensive, and they change the prices constantly and change the packages of services

Backblaze is very easy to get running on a new computer and has configurable bandwidth limits. It doesn't backup the OS or applications which is great since it is unnecessary. It makes sense to have physical on and off site backups as well for critical data, but backblaze is so affordable that it is a great addition and adds peace of mind without having to always worry about if physical backups are 100% up to date.

I understand that they need to put limits on some things so people don't game the system, but I wish it was possible to keep a single external HD backed up without having to keep it plugged in all the time. If the external HD is unplugged for a certain amount of days, the data from it will be cleared. For teams that travel often, they may not always be able to have that external drive plugged in.

I love that it backs up my files and keeps them safe.

Every time I need to download a file I have to download everything and then update the computer again which takes ages.
Still, it's better than no backup at all. So I recommend that you use Backblaze if the other option is nothing. It's also more reliable than external hard drives, but it takes a long long time to backup larger files. So I can see it would be ideal if you're backing up documents, or scripts or basically text documents, not video files or super large images.

Unlimited storage at an amazing price! Backblaze automatically backs up drives, folders, and files you set.

It does not back up exe files which are mainly software installation files but that is also where malware likes to hide.

First off, the biggest endorsement I can give for this software/service, at least for me, is that it is picked by The Wirecutter as the best online cloud backup service.

The first important thing to realize is that EVERY hard drive will eventually fail. Not if, but when. So you need a backup plan. And any backup plan that requires you to remember to do something is doomed. That's where BackBlaze comes in. The setup is dead simple (easier than other services I've used, like Crashplan), and then you simply let it do it's thing and run in the background. That's it! All you need to do is relax knowing that all of your data (and I mean all--the service allows unlimited data storage) is now safely backed up offsite.

I have yet to run into any issues with this sofware and service. I fortunately have not had the need to try out their data recovery features, however, so I can't opine on the quality there yet.

I love that once the software is enabled, I don't ever have to think about it. It's just there, silently making sure that my work is constantly being backed up to the cloud in case the unthinkable happens and I lose all of my data.

I haven't had to actually use it yet, but having explored the restoration process a little bit through the company's website, it seems to be a bit clunky. It would be nice if there were an easier way to pick through the files I need to restore. Would be even better if it could track multiple versions ala Apple's Time Machine (which I also use).

The ease of use is what I like the most about this product. We went from MSP360 to BackBlaze and it is easier to use.

The email summaries could be more detailed.

It's the easiest way for regular customers to protect their data from loss. It's not the same thing as cloud storage, and it's not meant to be the same. But if you want to be always protected, Backblaze is a great and not-so-expensive solution. I used it for about 2 years when I used my private PC for work. Now I don't need it as much, but still consider getting back.

It would be great if that had some kind of cloud storage or at least integration with third-party cloud services.

It's very inexpensive compared to other cloud-based storage platforms.
AWS-compatible API.
Easy to manage storage buckets.

Limited geographical locations means it can be slow depending on where your servers are, when compared to local Azure instances for example.

Pricing is great for Backblaze and setup is beyond simple. The persistent backups mean no user is ever in fear of losing valuable data. We've implemented Backblaze for all our employees machines. An underrated feature that I hope I never have to use is they'll send you a physical copy of your backup if you ever find yourself in a severe emergency backup situation!

I really, really can't think of any negatives to say about Backblaze. While I think the price is fair I guess it could be bundled a little better for larger organizations who need a lot of machines backed up.

If you need backup and are not using this software - I would highly recommend this for all - server and personal!

At first it takes quite a long time - but after the initial time - it sails!

The speed is incredible and pricing per GB for BackBlaze B2 is lower than Amazon Glacier and Microsoft Azure. Plus, they publish an annual report on hard drive failure rates that is extremely valuable.

A few years ago, my only gripe was the amount of industry integrations. Since then, however, they've added many, many new ones that resolve my concerns.

Backblaze has one of the easiest on-boarding process of any backup software I've used. It's seriously software that most end users would be able to easily configure on their own computer. Such an intuitive interface that still has powerful features for those looking to tweak things.

I really don't have anything negative to say about Backblaze. Their service and emergency recovery support are second to none, and the no-fuss pricing per computer with no storage caps makes price forecasting a breeze.

Backblaze has been a lifesaver! I downloaded the software and it backs up my documents. My computer died earlier this year and I panicked. I was so worried that I lost everything, and I had never logged in to see my backed up information. I bought a new laptop and was able to successfully get all of my backed up documents, picture, etc from Backblaze. It was super comforting to know that my information was all there. years of work! I also utilized customer service and they were so helpful!

None! I have had nothing but a good experience with this software. It is well worth the cost!!! Get it today

Backblaze is a very minimal tool. It doesn't sport any bells and whistles, it never stays in your way. It just stay silent for much of the time and just... works.
Your entire disk is safely and securely backed up on their servers and you can access your files and restore your backups in case of dramatic events.

Honestly the web interface is a little bit strange and oddly organized, but it's a very minor complaint because you rarely use it (if at all).

I like that Backblaze constantly runs in the background backing up everything that's on my Mac. Some of my co-workers can't be bothered with manually plugging in a hard drive to run a backup, so this works perfectly for them. Since I also have a local backup, I don't have a need to download my entire backup as yet. However it came in handy on a number of occasions when I needed to access a file on my Mac when I'm out.

I wish they could offer unlimited versioning of files so that I can rollback to an earlier version when something goes wrong. As of now, I'd need to combine that with other solutions like Time Machine or Dropbox Extended Version History.

The ability for us to "set it and forget it." We know Backblaze is running and do not need to check on servers, external HDD's etc.

Retrieving files from the cloud requires time but this is the case with any cloud backup solution.

The price and the simplicity of configuring it to backup our Synology rackstation. It's secure and we have always been able to restore files when needed. We have never experienced an issue with Backblaze. Would highly recommend to everyone.

The web interface could use an overhaul. It is simple enough but I feel like with a little time and effort they could turn it into something better. Note, this is a very minor con.
