I use the unlimited photo backup that is included with Amazon Prime
I had been using Carbonite (for backup of all) before I ever signed up for Amazon Prime (backing up photos). Now I have both.

I do it all, Bob. 3 High capacity external hard drives and backblaze (in case of unforeseen catastrophe). At this low cost for unlimited storage, I see no reason why not to do so.

I have used SpiderOakONE for many years for backup and syncing among my 5 computers. It works great. I have rarely had problems. The few times when I did have trouble, support was good and there was never any loss of data. You can sync among computers, even if they use different operating systems.

backblaze - excellent
Yes, it's great, but just for backup, not for active retrieval.

Backblaze for full PC backup + connected drive, Amazon Prime for RAW photos and I drop processed JPG's on Google Photo.

What’s wrong with a hard drive for active retrieval? That’s an option with Backblaze.

What plan are you on? I have the personal one for $60 a year but is only for a single device.

Not real sure. I didn’t know they had a plan for just one device. Perhaps you should contact them.

Just to be sure, when you mention "device" you mean different computers, right?
Not just, different hard drives.

Computers and backup drives. I have a laptop and two backup drives with Backblaze. And if you hook up another one it detects it and backs it up.

By the way Zenfolio has a plan that backs up your RAW files. So everything is triple backed up. If Backblaze fails I have Zenfolio. I also have the jpgs on Zenfolio I can download from a zip file.
Amazon and the others are too expensive and limited. Reliable but expensive and limited.

Maybe Amazon Prime, but you might take a look at Amazon S3. No limits, ultra reliable and if you choose Glacier, you’ll be hard pressed to find less expensive cloud storage.
