[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 591438, member: 8330"] I've been with Crashplan since about 2014 and I'm very happy with them. I remember when I was looking, Crashplan, Backblaze and a third company (sorry the name escapes me) were in the running. I went with the third company but cancelled them fairly quickly due to their constraints (I think it was iDrive or maybe cloud.com???) I think Crashplan and Backblaze are pretty similar so you could probably flip a coin on those two. I would shop around for good intro deals. I got about 50% off the first year with Crashplan on the family plan to save a little initially. Also keep in mind if you run a NAS then Crashplan (not sure on Backblaze) can be a little tricky. You can either try to run a plugin to backup to Crashplan from your NAS or you can do what I did and map a drive from an Apple computer or Linux (Ubuntu) computer and backup the NAS from there. The point I'm trying to make is Crashplan doesn't backup mapped drives from Windows devices. Overall I've been very pleased with Crashplan. I use my phone app to access documents in the cloud all the time. I wouldn't mind if they freshened the apps up a bit but that's just me. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
