Cloud
Storage Reviews announced
their
review of Backblaze’s ease
of use, features, space/price, customer support, security and overall
performance giving a rating of 9.1 out 10.
The
review describes the user experience as "well designed
and easy to use." From install,
file restoration and backup setups, the $5/month
fee is "very
competitive" and provides features
standard that are offered as upgrades from other companies.
One of the
most impressive features is the backup speed information provided.
"This
feature allows you to see how fast the last file was transferred and
how many gigabytes of data your computer will transfer in a day."
The
company is regarded as honest and open about how they obtain HDDs in
a process called "HDD farming"
according to the review.
Steven
Johnson recommends Backblaze for its simplicity, unlimited backup and
affordable price.
He says:" Backblaze
is a top contender."
Backblaze
is praised for focusing on "core backups, not syncing,
sharing and other secondary features."
The review
explains that the experience of installation was easy and quick,
allowing for adjustments to the settings including specifying drives
to backup, configuring file and folder exclusions and setting
security with unique private encryption laid out on a simple to use
interface.
The
ability to verify files and restore them from either the main HDD or
an external one is included in the standard plan and is regarded as
what sets the backup service apart from its competitors. The
simplicity and functionality makes for a stress-free backup
experience, knowing that the files are safe and secure.
Cloud
Storage Reviews determines that Backblaze is "a
solid, well-priced online backup company … the software is easy to
install and I liked that their [sic] are advanced settings giving
more flexibility."
