It's worth noting that backups can fail for a variety of reasons, usually at the worst possible time, so we've given extra marks to companies that offer easily accessible support options. That means ease of use is paramount.Īll the products we've included here have a good reputation, as evidenced by comments on public forums and reviews from trusted sources. Our focus in this guide is on backup software for home and small business environments, where there's no IT staff and no managed network. Getting all the bells and whistles you think you need, especially if you have multiple devices to protect, can run up a pretty hefty bill. Those that offer a free version try (sometimes very aggressively) to upsell you to one of their paid plans, which typically come in multiple tiers, in home and commercial versions, and with varying discounts for longer subscription terms and multiple licenses. We were even more surprised by the sheer number and complexity of purchase and subscription options for those products.
You might be startled by just how many third-party backup products there are to choose from. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
