Best Online Backup for Mac?

[yellowsnn0w]

backblaze is the one to go with.

very simple and puristic interface, does a great job, good price, native client

by the way, tried crashplan: its java, and it just looks ugly...not that its the most important thing, but that bar icon on retina macs looks just ugly..

There are two reasons why I am not so crazy about Backblaze:

1) No family plan pricing that I can see. Pricing is per computer. I have 8 Macs being backed up... so this would get expensive.

2) It appears that versioning is only 30days. I use Crashplan which has unlimited versioning. This is important in the event of inadvertent deletion (something I have done)... which can certainly not be noticed during the first 30 days.

online backup services

I am looking for an offsite backup, and since I work at home, I do not have an office or anywhere else to store my backup hard drives. my bank does not offer a safety deposit box.

I am also on a budget, and cannot afford pricy monthly payments.

from someonline rsearch, there are online backup services that offer unlimited storage, I need that as I have alot of data, pictures and documents.

the only drawback is, my internet connection is slow.

has anybody used online backup? what would be the best? I found one called backblaze that offers unlimited storage for $5.00 a month. this seems good, but I have concerns; what would stop that rate from creeping up each year? what if the company goes broke or dissapears from the web?

Then cancel and choose another provider.

I have been thinking about an online option (in addition to local backup) and the biggest concern I have is the monthly data cap from Comcast (300 GB). My backup (at present) is pushing that size.
