Currently I use free Crashplan to backup my computer at home and 2 different computers at the office. I back up, over the internet, the home computer to one of the computers at the office and the 2 office computers to my home computer. Crashplan is ending this in a few weeks.

Crashplan has offered 2 options: 1. go with Carbonite or Crashplan for Small Business. Both with a cost. I don't mind paying for a backup service, but don't want to overpay for what little I need.

Anyone have a recommendation, whether its going with one of the 2 options above, or something else? I'm guessing it would make life a little easier sticking with one of the 2 options above. Let me know if anyone is/was in a similar situation and what would be a good option for me. Thanks for the help!

Are you opposed to buying 3 external 2.5" HDs and backing up locally? I use EaseUS (it's free) and it's worked great for me so far. I haven't explored it's capabilities outside of local backups, but it might be something you could use.

I switched from Crashplan to BackBlaze. $5 per month per computer. Unlimited storage. I went with the $95 for 2 years option making it $3.95/month.

Veeam for image based local backups. Backblaze for cloud based.

Use Amazon S3. It's cheap, there are different tiers based on the restore time needed. I worked in an AWS shop for a global company and used it for 100s of TBs of data we needed available globally. good stuff.
