Before you choose
Check how you can try a service
A free plan and a free trial are different ways to evaluate a service. Check which one is offered and what access it gives before choosing.
Match backup targets to your devices
Check the service's supported platforms and backup targets against the devices or systems you need to protect. Platform availability varies across Windows, macOS, Linux, web, self-hosted, and iOS.
Compare storage and version history
Included storage affects how much you can keep in the cloud. Version history can matter when you need an earlier copy of a file, so check both details for the plan you are considering.
Look at recovery options
Continuous backup, bare-metal recovery, and ransomware recovery address different recovery needs. Compare the listed capabilities with what you want to restore, and confirm the details for the plan you select.
Questions
What should I compare in a cloud backup service?
Compare backup targets, included storage, version history, continuous backup, bare-metal recovery, ransomware recovery, and whether a free plan or trial is available.
Is a free plan the same as a free trial?
No. A free plan is a no-cost plan; a free trial provides temporary access to a service. Check the maker's terms for what each includes.
Which platforms should I check?
The listed platform categories include Windows, macOS, Linux, web, self-hosted, and iOS. Confirm support for the specific devices and systems you need.
What is version history for?
Version history can let you access earlier copies of files. Check the service details to see what version history is included.
What is bare-metal recovery?
Bare-metal recovery is a recovery capability to compare when you need to restore a system. Check the service's details for how it is offered.
Are open-source services included?
The supplied facts list no open-source services. rclone is listed as free, but that fact does not identify it as open source.
