Backblaze vs Mozy

The default configuration includes everything except for system files to be backed up. That also includes external USB drives. This will work for most people. It can, of course, be customized to each person's liking.

There are no limitations of file size or amount of data you can upload. The $5/mo plan gets you unlimited cloud storage.

Backblaze creates a zip file of all your files for you to download, thus decreasing the amount of data you need to download and increasing the speed of the download since it's one connection instead of multiple that need to be opened and closed for a list of files.

AES encrypted files are transferred over a secure SSL connection.

Some backup services like Carbonite require a client to be installed to restore files. Backblaze allows you to login and download any or all files from a web browser, meaning it also serves as an ad-hoc cloud storage platform.

You can have a flash drive or an external hard drive delivered to you. They cost $99 and $189 respectively.

Stash is a local sync folder similar in functionality to Dropbox.

Mozy end-users are not susceptible to social engineering.

At Mozy, there is no one person who can authorize the deletion of a given individual’s data. Our process of cleaning and deleting a customer’s data is a very structured and automated process, and you can’t call us up and short circuit that process.

A feature called 2x Protect will back up everything to two backup targets - one online and external device attached to your computer.
