That is because Backblaze Personal Cloud charges you 5 USD per computer.Īnd here is one more easy scenario: you want to backup from a linux machine.
BACKBLAZE BACKUP ARCHIVE
If you want to backup three computers and your total backup archive is less than 3 TB).

Next: if you have multiple computers to backup and your total backup archive is less than the number of computers in Terrabytes (e.g. Most obviously, duplicati + B2 is cheaper if you need less than 1 TB in the cloud (not that that equals a good bit more data on your harddrive, given duplicati’s compression). So let’s make a proper comparison and I’m sure, duplicati will come out better at least for some scenarios. Need I say more?īut I’m not giving up on duplicati so easily. And then I saw that Backblaze Personal Backup would costs me 5 USD per month (or 4 USD on a 2 year plan).

Reason: I realized that I may well be paying 15 USD per month to store about 3TB of backups in B2. I am having second thoughts about using duplicati + B2 as my backup solution.
