Hi lemmings I am self employed and travel full time.

I work remotely and have a 2TB external drive which I work from, I sync some of those files to my google drive.

Later this year I will be in several African countries and my need for a full and complete backup is weighing heavy on my mind.

What I would like from a cloud service is to backup all my files remotely and then as I work on them locally from my local external drive they are then syncd back to the cloud. This essentially gives me one local copy and one cloud copy at all times.

Currently Google cloud gives me this, but I can’t expand my storage due to my legacy GAFYD account.

Obviously price is a factor, but also being able to sync my local files is most important. I’ve looked at BackBlaze but I’m unsure which product category I fit into and if it would work for me, but I’m willing to try.

Any and all suggestions would be most helpful, thank you!

    Backblaze was solid. If it’s only one computer you get an unlimited account and you’re set

      It is just one computer, which of their products has the ‘unlimited’ bit?

      Sorry for the dumb ass question, I’m losing the plot with all their terminology

        It’s their basic “backup” plan. B2 is more enterprise and you pay standard s3 rates for it, if you have a single computer you want to backup then you want their personal backup plan. Flat rate for unlimited data
