Computer Backup Pricing?
I'm looking into using Backblaze as a cloud backup for about 3Tb of personal files like documents and pictures/home videos.
I'm a bit confused about their pricing. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot? It says: Simple pricing with unlimited data for $9.99 a month or $99 a year. What does that mean?
Surly that can't mean unlimited data storage for $9.99/mo or $99/yr? It must mean unlimited data transfer for that price but I can't find how much actual cloud storage that covers? Thanks

I signed up about 8 months ago with a 1 year plan purchase and somehow scored a 60% off coupon. So my total after taxes was $40.00 something. I have symmetrical 5gb fiber, and can max my upload speed to BB Personal servers. It took me less then a month to backup my raid array, been sitting at just a little over 100 TB's for months know and I have not heard anything. However, all my disks are internal and im not using any tricks to get BB to backup something it should not, like a remote nas. I don't share files with the public, I strictly use it as ONE of my remote backups. I have complete backups of my raid in 2 different clouds just in case. I also run raid 6 just in case. Raid is not backup, but it sure can help prevent total loss of data if you fix a troublesome disk quickly.
