What is Backblaze Business Backup?
Backblaze Business Backup is a cloud backup service that offers unlimited storage per computer for a flat monthly fee per user. It runs silently in the background, continuously backing up files as they change, with 1 year of version history included by default. The restore process is straightforward — download files directly or have a physical drive shipped to you. It's the simplest full-computer cloud backup available, and the pricing is the most competitive in its class.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited storage per computer — no data caps or overage fees
- Continuous backup — files backed up as they change, not on a schedule
- 1 year of version history — recover files from up to 12 months ago
- Physical drive restore option — useful for large data recoveries
Cons
- No centralised management console for multi-device fleets
- Restore speed limited by internet connection for large datasets
- Not GDPR-compliant by default (US-based servers) without additional configuration
Best for
- SMBs wanting the simplest possible set-and-forget cloud backup
- Teams where per-device cost matters more than central management
- Businesses that want version history as protection against ransomware
Our verdict
Backblaze Business Backup does one thing and does it very well: backs up every file on a computer to the cloud, continuously, with a year of version history, for $7/user/month. If your backup needs are straightforward — computers, not servers — it's hard to beat on simplicity and price. The lack of centralised management is the main limitation for larger teams.
