Crashplan is dropping home users

Hi-
Just got an email from crash plan that they are doing away with the version of backup I use. Can chose to stay with them as a small business at a lot higher rate or find something else by March 2018. Anyone out there have any suggestions or opinions on best cloud backups?
Thanks in advance.

The recent topic http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-480993-1.html covers Crashplan and several suggestions.

I was ready to look for an alternative myself, but after considering how long it would take to re-upload my data and be able to continue to backup from my external drives with no added cost/hassle I decided to stick with Crashplan and migrate to the small business plan - happily, I got a 75% discount for a year and the remaining time on my subscription free, so I am covered now till March 2019 at a cost of $2.50 per month, after 2019, I am charged $10.00 per month.

Migration was quick and easy, new client installed automatically.

No issues.

I had Crashplan and decided to try iDrive. They have a Crashplan user incentive right now -- 5TB for $6.95 for the 1st year and $69 per year after that. Unlimited drives and computers --you just pay or the cloud space. Not the fastest at initial seeding, but thought I'd give it a try.

I have used IDrive for all backup for a few years now.

It only costs $60.00/year for a terrabyte of space and I can backup all of our PCs.

I tell it what to back up, start it and forget it.

On the few occasions that I needed to restore a file it was quick and easy.

Used to use Carbonite but it was a real resource hog.
