![]() ![]() I was skeptical of Backblaze initially because of its unorthodox business plan but it has more than proven itself over time. I no longer recommend Carbonite to people because of it's limitations and CrashPlan because it is expensive (I'm switching to CrashPlan only because it is compatible with Linux, which I will be switching to by 2020, and the others are not). I currently have both Carbonite's and CrashPlan's software on my computer and they run invisibly in the background I can't tell they are there except for their icons in the System tray (which can be hidden). You should be able to make exceptions for certain files and folders. I don't know why you wouldn't want Backblaze's software on your computer. I would like to avoid the need of installing a specific software for this (I like te freedom of FreefileSync, that permits to record the task with all the tiny exceptions for specific files or folders). About Backblaze, I did not get interrested in it for 3 reasons : Why can't we download a specific folder or file ?! If I am not mistaking, it seems that the only way to retrieve the backup is by 1 huge file. It is limited to 1 computer backup (I would like it to be more "opened" : They supply a specific amount of Gb, and I deal with it however I want) I would like to avoid the need of installing a specific software for this (I like te freedom of FreefileSync, that permits to record the task with all the tiny exceptions for specific files or folders) ![]() Extending the comparison, the cumulative (lifetime) AFR for our hard drives was 1.40 as noted in our 2021 Drive Stats report. This compares to the cumulative AFR for all SSD drives as of Q4 2021 which was 1.07 (from the previous chart). Of course I am looking for a paid service, and it must be a "well known" with a good reputation to avoid the disappearing or loss of data.Ībout Backblaze, I did not get interrested in it for 3 reasons : For all of 2021, all three drives have had cumulative AFR rates below 1. That is the main reason why I would like to use a cloud service for the daily backup, and time to time to continue to dig up in the yard to grab my hidden hard drive ! -) I totally agree with you on the fact that only One backup is not enough, especially if this backup is stored in the cloud.įor sure I will continue to copy my files locally on my external hard drive, but because I think it's useless to store this drive in the same place than my computers, then it's not possible to make daily or weekly backups. ![]() Thank you Lady Fitzgerald for your reply. ![]()
