Lost a backup and no help from support
I was a long time customer until I discovered that an external hard drive that was backed up was deleted before the 30 day time limit.
I contacted support about the issue, they weren’t too sure, so they had re-upload the drive’s content. I started to do that, but I didn’t upload the entire drive just in case it happened again.
About three weeks later, the drive’s contents were deleted again. Even though I paid for the one year extension.
I contacted support again and basically was told that there was nothing they could do and the ticket was closed. I complained about the service, but never got a response from anyone at the company.
Shortly after that, I cancelled the service.
Awful UI for website
I'm writing this on behalf of a client of mine.
I had recommended Backblaze based on internet recommendations but I hadn't tried it myself.
Ugh. The backup mysteriously failed on her Mac for 32 days. It was non-obvious that it had. When I was checking it out, I wasn't sure that it had but I wasn't absolutely sure about that.
Then I contacted customer support for help. My first attempt at trying to get it to work again failed. It was a bit unclear because it had a disk scanning progress bar that was stuck at 100% for several hours but I also got an alert that the backup had failed. This was confusing…
I then contacted customer support and did an uninstall and reinstall which also failed with unclear error messages.
After that, I gave up and asked for the subscription to be canceled.
In my mind, a great backup should be more like Apple’s Time Machine: you should be easily able to check when it was backed up and see what files were backed up. You should have clear error messages.
not working
can't see my files
Needs Work
The program does not work. It gets stuck in the initial backup and won’t finish the job. Will be canceling service. Customer support is horrible.
Love the accessibility this app brings.
This app is great but as a photographer/videographer I would like to have thumbnails for pictures and video files. That way I don’t have to download it before knowing what it is.
Good serving cet, clean up the app
The app seems to have improved, judging from the reviews over the years. Some bugs seem to remain, which is silly and should be cleaned up so it does not reflect on Backblaze as a whole. For example, for an initial backnI have going, the number of remaining files is current, but the time of last upload is just wrong (says it’s one week, which seems to be the time the entire backup started).
Functionally works, Needs QOL
Works well functionally, but the fact that I can’t see images or videos without downloading is a major flaw to me. It’s one of the main reasons I would choose a competitor.
Jacked up Login
Idk what changed but having to enter my email address every time to login is getting old. Face ID won’t work. Super aggravating!!!
Can't preview media thumbnail
I'm using the 15 day trial and have begun my initial backup. My content is mostly videos, and when trying to download content from the app, you can't preview the thumbnails for any of the videos. So you won't know which content you're downloading unless you take time to name every single file something descriptive.
Buggy
Love the service but the iOS app has issues. For one, I can’t get past the login screen. I enter username and password and the page just reloads.
