Backblaze
Our pickBacks up everything automatically, flat price, easy restore.
What is the best way to back up a computer?
The best backup has two copies, one at home and one online. At home, plug in an external drive and use Windows Backup or File History on Windows, or Time Machine on Mac, both free. For the online copy, Backblaze backs up an entire computer for a flat monthly price with no file size limits.

Good to know
- A backup you never tested is a guess. Restore one file once to be sure it works.
- OneDrive and Google Drive sync deletions too. Sync is not the same as a backup.
