I suggest looking in the opposite direction - in case of disaster - how do you see the process of restore? What steps would be required to get data back and how quickly.
Though they could be all done on the the same day and thus, be useless if you need a month-old version. Services like dropbox, etc., provide about 30 versions of the same file. The BB ethos is that you shouldn't have to think about what you back up, but they overshot on this one.Īnyway, BB gets my vote, if only because CP's upload is so terrible.īackup and sync services as dropbox are different - backblaze, for example, would provide backup versions - if you need to revert to some certain date, it is done by restoring the appropriate backup and they are unlimited. You can define a list of folder paths to exclude, but they're not specific to any one drive. Slower, more space and overhead to extract. Web restorations seem to require multiple 500GB ZIP files. The Backblaze client is much more responsive and uploads max out my 45 Mbps upload. No ZIP files, no need to use a web client just point it at a drive and let it work.
However, on the upside, restores through their application are simple and saturate my 1 Gbps download connection. Like 1 Mbps slowĬP's app is very slow and performance-intensiveĬP silently excludes certain file types associated with, e.g., VMs I just switched to Backblaze for a few reasons:ĬP uploads are egregiously slow. I've been on CrashPlan for a few years, first as a home user and more recently on a Small Business plan. Please suggest any others if you have them! so the idrive free hard drive option is no good for me The 5/30 day wait for upload and download and the challenges of recovering everything just seems like a hassle. So atm that’s probally top of my list because of its ease of access.
It’s not directly the same as cloud backup but if it’s safe enough I’m fine with that, I just can’t see where it mentions how many devices you can have anywhere. I’m aware Dropbox isn’t 100% cloud backup and it’s more cloud storage but it seems to have everything I want and is secure and on top of that much faster download and upload speeds and easier access to files. I’ve looked into a few and I like the look of IDrive, Backblaze, Dropbox Backup so far. I was able to recover the data but it was very expensive and I don’t want this to happen again so I’m looking for cloud back up software for all my files.Īutomatically backs up/makes changes when I do on the computer online alsoĪbility to backup two computers and a hard drive possibly twoįast upload/download speeds (I’ve heard most of these take 5 days to download and upload and I don’t wanna wait this long) Essentially I had a hard drive crash recently.
