So I use it as a permanent backup for important files, that I barely touch. You pay minimal for storage but also a small fee for downloading. This is a permanent archiving solution for a really minimal price. In addition to automatic backup, Backblaze also offers cloud storage called B2 Cloud Storage. Just like most other services, Backblaze grants you a 15-day trial period for free. Monthly plan: $6/month (will change in august) It does not matter if your system drive is 2GB or 20TB, it will just upload – no questions asked. Without any size limit – including every connected storage ( note: connected devices need to be present once every 30 days to not be deleted). In short, pCloud is a data sync and sharing solution with up to 2TB of storage with a lifetime membership that’s currently 65% off.īackblaze on the other hand is a set-it and forget-it type of backup solution, that runs in the background and constantly checks for and uploads any changes in your entire file system.

PCLoud, as I mentioned in the last article, is a great alternative to top-dog Dropbox with some amazing features and a very competitive price – you can read more about it here if you have missed it.

And I would also like to let you know that till August 16th you can lock in the current price for up to two years of Backblaze before they will increase the price starting in August. They will increase their price in August though – so if you act now, you can safe up to 58$ (that’s nearly 10 months of service).įollowing up on a question we got last week about the differences between the sync solution and Dropbox alternative pCloud and the backup service Backblaze, I’d like to outline the main advantages of Backblaze as an online backup solution with this short article. Backblaze is a hard to beat backup service that offers unlimited storage with their 6$/month plan.
