On the other hand, Backblaze allows for unlimited historic versioning on their cloud service whereas Acronis is limited to 6 months. Whilst both of these application feature integrated cloud backup, they do differ in some areas, for example, Acronis allows for local backups to be taken as well as image based backups whereas Backblaze does not.

Thanks to recent upgrades to the service (as of 2019), Backblaze users now have the ability specify how long their historic versions are kept making this a very powerful backup option for many (additional fees do apply for longer retention periods). Two very strong contenders putting cloud backup at the very core of their latest PC backup offerings.Īcronis True Image (2021) is a well know and market leading PC backup solution, it features everything needed to keep a PC fully protected against data loss making use of both locally attached storage (such as external drives) and in recent years an integrated cloud backup service (although take note that not all versions of True Image come with a cloud storage allocation).īackblaze on the other hand is a cloud enabled backup service which offers a very quick and easy way for PC users to get their important data backed up to the cloud. In this comparison I will be looking at Acronis True Image 2021 and comparing it against Backblaze Backup.
