For a backup service they have too many ifs and gotchas. I’d personally stay as far away from them.

I’d rather want something that charges more and doesn’t offer that gimmicky unlimited storage and gives me unlimited versioning and external media and doesn’t delete anything as long as I’m paying and am within my storage limit. That simple.

That’s why I preferred CrashPlan which had a desktop app much less polished than Backblaze but they were a true backup service.

So Backblaze Personal Backup service is a bullshit wrapped in a sophisticated app. My aversion to them is on the same lines of of those VPN and cloud storage companies (pCloud, Koofr etc) offering lifetime plans.

And that’s an unsustainable rate!! I mean what else is there to be argued. Data hoarder crowd often use them.

Lifetime, unlimited are one word gimmicks which ought to be treated as red flags on giant billboards.
