Backblaze for Business review
A focused cloud backup service for employee Macs and PCs, priced per computer annually.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Backblaze for Business backs up user-generated files from business Macs and PCs to cloud storage. It is aimed at organizations that need centralized protection for employee computers, with administrators managing backups, restores, retention, and permissions through a web console. It focuses on endpoint data rather than broader server disaster recovery, so teams seeking server workload coverage should look elsewhere.
The Business Backup plan costs $99 per computer per year, billed annually, and includes unlimited backup per device and one-year version history. Recovery options include web restores, a restore application, and shipped physical drives. A 15-day trial is described on Backblaze’s general Computer Backup security page, but that page does not establish trial terms specifically for Business Backup. Organizations should weigh the per-computer annual price against the number of endpoints they need to protect.
Administration and deployment are a notable fit for managed fleets: the service supports silent deployment through MDM/RMM tools and lists integrations with Jamf, Kandji, Addigy, and Microsoft Intune. Enterprise Control adds Legal Hold, OIDC single sign-on, granular restore and access permissions, and backup lockdown controls. Those controls may suit organizations with tighter retention or access requirements, while smaller teams that only need endpoint backup may prefer the Business Backup plan. Choose it for employee Mac and PC data; avoid it if your recovery plan needs verified server coverage.
