Backblaze For Photo Backup

Choosing storage and backups for your precious photos is incredibly overwhelming and there are so many things to consider.   I will speak to this more in upcoming posts and want to only discuss one of the many options available that I am familiar with and when you should consider using it.   That is Backblaze.  
Backblaze is an automated backup service.  For a truly minimal fee, Backblaze, once installed, automatically backs up your entire computer and your external hard drive and is incredibly easy to recover. 
The backup is stored off site in the cloud, meaning that unlike syncing services similar to DropBox, it will not slow down your computer and use up space on your hard drive.  It works in the background to update new materials regularly.
This would be one part of the 3 part  3-2-1 backup suggested for all photos.  3 backups, 2 different formats, at least 1 off-site, in the cloud.  Backblaze is a great option for the cloud storage part of your 3 part photo backup solutions with the added bonus of protecting everything else on your computer as well.  I suggest using the free trial below first to see if its the right solution for you before purchasing.
