I'm looking into some type of online storage for my photos and was all set to go with Back Blaze until I read one thing.
My whole point of an online storage is the option of storing files that I want to delete from my computer. I realize Back Blaze is a backup of a computer, but what options exist for online storage? I was under the assumption that Back Blaze did both the backup as well as storage, but apparently not.
I do use several WD portable hard drives but want to supplement with online storage. Any suggestions on cloud storage besides my free Dropbox account? I know they also offer a paid account but don't know if there are any better options out there.
What Happens If I Delete A File From My Computer?
Files that are deleted or removed from the system backing up are retained in the Backblaze backup for 30 days, for the purposes of recovery. After 30 days, those files are deleted from the Backblaze backup as well.
