Get a Free Month of Backblaze

<aside> 💡 BackBlaze is incredible. It is very affordable for what is unlimited data backups.

</aside>

<aside> 💡 BackBlaze doesn’t work like Dropbox or Google Drive. BackBlaze works by backing up all of the files on your computer and keeps an exact clone of how your computer is at that time. If you delete a file, that will also copy across to Backblaze and it will remove that file from its backup.

</aside>

<aside> 💡 The good thing though is that BackBlaze will also backup external drives. So if you have files you no longer want on your computer, move the files to an external drive and have backblaze backup the external drive. You do need to make sure you plug in that drive once every 30 days for Backblaze to scan it. Otherwise, BackBlaze will remove that external drive from it’s backup.

External Drives

SSD

Samsung T7

These are the SSD drives I buy regularly and have never let me down. You can often get them very well price during Black Friday and other similar discount events.

HDD

<aside> 💡 HDD are better for larger and longer term backups. They aren’t always as portable or as fast as SSDs but you can get higher storage capacities for less money.
