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. Acronis Cloud Storage exists only for one purpose – safety and security of your data.In this comparison I will be looking at Acronis True Image 2021 and comparing it against Backblaze Backup. Your data is safe on state-of-the-art Acronis software-defined storage, running Acronis’ patented implementation of Reed-Solomon data chunk distribution with outstanding redundancy and error correction. Your backups are stored on reliable Acronis Cloud Storage The use of automatic uninterruptible power supplies protects against power surges in case of switching power lines and provides power support during the switchover to diesel generators. The data centers are powered by at least two independent power sources.

Electrical power systems of the data centers are designed to provide uninterrupted power supply to the entire infrastructure 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This ensures that if there is a failure in a hardware-layer component, it does not affect Acronis customers. Acronis follows the approach of need plus one (N+1) for greater redundancy across all hardware layers of its infrastructure. High-availability and redundant infrastructure are designed to minimize associated risks and eliminate single points of failure.
