I didn’t realize this at the time and this “deletion” cascaded through my backups so by the time I noticed that my files were missing – several months later, they were truly gone. In fact, the only time I’ve ever lost images was because I mistakenly deleted them. I’ve had a couple drives that I stopped using because they were going bad and started making clicking noises but I didn’t loose anything. This was a while back and, in all honesty, I don’t miss anything because I don’t remember for the life of me what I even lost. I’ve only ever one hard drive fail on me where I lost all of my files. There are worse things in life and I’d take it as a sign that it was simply meant to be. This works well enough for me and if the worst came to be and I somehow lost all 3 hard drives then so be it. I then have a portable drive that I keep off site that I make another copy to every so often. I have a main drive that automatically backs up to a second drive every night. It takes a really long time to upload everything to the “cloud” (aka someone else’s computer) and if something were to happen to the hosting company or if they raised their prices to something outrageous and I’d want to go elsewhere I’d need to spend another x number of weeks uploading everything again. First of all I don’t like the idea of subscriptions and second, I feel more comfortable when I’m in control of my files. I may be the odd one out but I don’t care for cloud storage. Last but not least - it’s a well-known service that will (hopefully) not experience issues younger service might, and will probably keep a steady price. Works with my favorite backup software (GoodSync).Cost-wise - it was just a bit more expensive than BB B2.From a certain amount of storage, it allows sharing it between family members which saves duplicate payments.This allows using the same storage for everything, and choose whether you want your phone photos to be backed up through Photos, or through regular backup after uploading them to the HDD (same storage anyway). If you own an Android phone, you probably already have storage there.Its plans offer huge storage, which weren’t available on Dropbox.It’s accessible from everywhere as a regular drive, whereas Backblaze B2 wasn’t.No limitation for the number of PCs or HDDs I can back up / upload from / access from. ![]() I recently decided to move everything to Google Drive (even though I do favor Dropbox). Personally, I had my storage split between Dropbox (general storage) and Backblaze B2 (photos).
