Backblaze doesn't offer a permanent free account level like Editors' Choice winner IDrive's 10GB account or Livedrive's 5GB account, but you can get a 15-day trial.

You can also pay $130 every two years for the service. Backblaze charges $7 per month or $70 per year and offers unlimited cloud backup storage for one computer. While Backblaze is suitable for some people, others should look to Editors' Choice winners IDrive for a better value backup service or ShadowProtect SPX Desktop for full disk image backups.įor those with just one computer to worry about, Backblaze is cost-effective compared with other online backup services. The service performed well in our upload speed tests but it doesn't have a folder-syncing option, nor can it back up your mobile devices. Its back-up-everything approach will appeal to newcomers, but more advanced users may want more control over the selection.
