Backblaze has kept my ‘shutdown two years ago’ machine data without issue. What problems did you have with them (or did others have)?


Backblaze has a policy of allowing backups of external disks, but the disks have to be connected at least once every 30 days, or they'll delete the backups. I understand they want to avoid abuse, but the lack of any grace period, or ability of support to ad an override, really soured the service for me.


You can just pay extra for extended or infinite retention. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup/features/extended-ver...


I did this, it's come in use a few times..


Huh, I had to start paying them $2 more for my nonexistent PC I think, but otherwise was fine. I have only 1 TB of total storage on that PC though, so maybe that’s the reason.
