Backblaze Raises Computer Backup Prices
14 July 2021
In a blog post, Gleb Budman announced an increase in subscription charges for Backblaze's Computer Backup service. The increase was necessitated, he writes, because "as our customers generate more and more data, our costs can rise while our prices remain fixed."
Unlike the company's B2 Cloud Storage option in which customers pay by the byte, Backblaze's Computer Backup option offers unlimited backup storage for a fixed price. But customers have been backing up 15 percent more data over the last two years as component prices have "not fallen at traditional rates." Hence, the squeeze.
The monthly plan will increase to $7, the yearly plan to $70 and the two-year plan to $130. You can lock in the current price for one year with a subscription extension.
The post concludes:
Thank you for being a customer. We really appreciate your trust in us and are committed to continuing to provide a service that makes it easy to get your data backed up, access it from anywhere in the world, protect it from ransomware, and to locate your computer should it be lost or stolen.
