“Running on my Mac backing up everything including all connected external drives. At $99/year for unlimited storage there is genuinely no excuse not to have offsite backup. It has saved colleagues from total data loss.”

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Backblaze is the single best value in cloud backup for photographers. Unlimited storage at $99/year is absurd when you have terabytes of photos across multiple drives. Set it up once, connect your external drives, and forget about it. Continuous backup runs in the background. If your studio burns down or your drives fail, everything is recoverable. Every photographer should have this running. There are zero excuses at this price.

Our Take

Pros

✓Truly unlimited backup — no storage cap regardless of terabytes
✓Backs up connected external drives automatically
✓Set and forget — continuous background backup
✓Affordable flat rate regardless of data volume
✓File versioning keeps 30 days of changes

Cons

✗Backup only — not a sync or sharing service
✗External drives must be connected every 30 days to stay in backup
✗Restore speeds depend on your internet connection
✗No Linux support

Verdict: The single best value in cloud backup for photographers. Unlimited storage at $99/year is absurd value when you have terabytes of photos. Every photographer should have this running. No excuses.
