I like that if there was ever a fire, flood or tornado etc, my data is backed up safe. If I had to reinstall windows I can do that and then restore the data drives. I know it's not going to make an image and backup everything, but the main point is that the backups are always updating every day of my main important data. And I use 2FA and security with my files so that it is very hacker proof. This is the one service I found, and I looked around a lot, that is affordable enough to backup all my hard drives and do it with ease. I have multiple very large hard drives as I use my computer for video and audio tasks that consume a great deal of hard drive space. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've been with Backblaze for over a year. I see some horrendous reviews, but I have not had that experience at all. I just had to put in my 2 cents worth here for Backblaze. I cannot comment on the numerous negative reviews, as my own experience is entirely positive so far. My current backup size is around 140GB, so an incremental backup taking 2 or 3 minutes is fine with me. However, if you select 'Backup only when I click on "Backup now"', the backup is done within 2 or 3 minutes and does backup all recent files. As I tend to use the computer for a couple of hours at a time and hiberate it between uses, continuous backup wasn't working. The only drawback I've noticed so far is that in order for backups to work in 'continuous' mode, you must leave your computer switched on for several hours after the latest file modifications in order for backblaze to backup the changes. I have contacted technical support a couple of times (by email) and both times their response was within 24 hours and answered my question accurately. I have been using Backblaze for around a month, and so far the experience is excellent.
