What is Backblaze Personal Backup?

Backblaze Personal Backup provides unlimited cloud backup for a single computer at a fixed monthly rate. Set it up once, and every file on your computer (including external drives) is continuously backed up to the cloud. No storage limits, no file size restrictions. The set-and-forget approach is Backblaze's strength. The backup runs continuously in the background, uploading changed files automatically. Restores can be done via web download or Backblaze will ship you a USB drive with your data (refundable if returned). For developers, Backblaze is essential insurance. Your local Git repos, configuration files, and projects are protected from hardware failure, theft, or ransomware. The $9/month cost is trivial compared to the value of your work. Combined with local backups, Backblaze ensures your data survives any disaster.
