External Hard Drive Backup

Why Backing Up to an External Hard Drive Isn’t Enough

Any backup is better than no backup. And backing up to an external hard drive is a good start. However, there are several problems with only backing up to an external hard drive:

• Your computer and external hard drive are in the same place - which means they are both susceptible to the same fire, flood, theft, and similar risks.
• You have to remember to connect and backup new data to your external hard drive.
• If you are away from your external hard drive, you cannot backup new files and you cannot access files that need to be recovered.

Restore a file, folder, or all your backed up files from any web browser for free.

Access your files through the Backblaze iPhone or Android apps.

Recover your files by having a hard drive or flash drive sent to you via FedEx.
