Backblaze vs IDrive
The two best answers to "I just want my computer backed up": radical simplicity against maximum features per dollar.
Backblaze Personal Backup
Unlimited backup for one computer. That is the whole pitch.
IDrive
The most backup per dollar, by a comfortable margin.
Our verdict
IDrive wins for households with multiple devices: 5 TB across unlimited computers, phones, and external drives for less than $70 in year one, plus disk-image backup and physical drive shipping. Backblaze wins for the one-computer life: truly unlimited data with zero configuration, the closest thing to a backup you cannot get wrong. The decision tree is short: more than one machine to protect, take IDrive; exactly one machine and no patience for settings, take Backblaze. Both beat having no backup by an infinite margin.
“The simplest honest backup on the market: one computer, everything on it, unlimited data, set and forget. No storage math, no file picking. If decision fatigue is why you still have no backup, install Backblaze today and be done.”Editorial team, on Backblaze Personal Backup
“The value champion of true backup: 5 TB for under $70 in year one, covering unlimited devices, with disk-image backup and even physical data shipment. The interface shows its age, but no one else does this much backup per dollar.”Editorial team, on IDrive
