Pricing
Understand introductory offers, renewals, storage allowances, device charges and the real cost of cloud backup.
Cloud backup pricing models
Per computer
Unlimited backup plans
Backblaze and Carbonite sell personal plans around one licensed computer. Adding another computer normally means another subscription.

Shared allowance
Multi-device storage plans
IDrive lets several computers and mobile devices share one storage allowance, so capacity matters more than device count.
