Best Overall
iDrive

底线:对于普通用户,iDrive提供了今天可以找到的功能,速度和价值的最佳融合。

iDrive备份详细信息:IDRIVE的个人备份计划每年的价格为69.50美元(如果您收到销售的话)并提供2TB的存储空间,那么对于大多数用户的个人文档和媒体来说,这将足够。IDRIVE应用程序易于安装,即使看起来有些过时,它也可以简单地使用。从表面上看,我很高兴地发现它很快上传了我的文件,并能够在应用程序中完全检索它们 - 它的主要竞争对手Backblaze无法宣称。恢复我的文件时,该应用程序提出将它们放回原始位置,或将它们转移到我选择的另一个位置。

iDriveoffers its users plenty of other perks. You can send the company a hard drive containing the files you want to upload and they'll copy them over directly, saving you hours or days of upload time. Flipping that around, they'll also send you a copy of all your files on a hard drive if your PC explodes, so you can quickly and easily copy them back. The service is even free if you send the hard drive back within a certain time frame. If you delete files from your local drive, iDrive will keep copies so you can restore them later if you have a change of heart. It also hangs on to old versions of your files, so if you have a change of heart you can undo changes even after you've saved.

Unlike some other cloud backup solutions, which require you to pay extra for each device you want to backup, iDrive also allows you to backup files from multiple computers and mobile devices to a single account. That’s great news for families.

Pros

  • 最多2TB存储

  • Simple app

  • Option to send hard drives for upload

backblaze

底线:与iDrive相比,功能贫困,但是如果您有很多数据,则无法击败价值主张。

Backblaze备份详细信息:backblazeis one of just two cloud backup solutions I tested that offers unlimited storage, and it's the better of the two. Yep, you read that right: unlimited backups. So forget 2TB—if you have 50TB, that’s fine. 100TB? No sweat. A petabyte? Sure, in theory. The app is a breeze, too, with the easiest installation and simplest interface of all the services I considered. And at $5 per month, it’s bar-none the cheapest cloud backup solution around, especially when you consider that unlimited capacity. Better still, there are no file size or type storage limitations, so if you have a huge collection of 4K videos, FLAC audio, or RAW image files, it's a great pick.

但是,有很多怪癖使它无法成为我的首选。首先,默认情况下将所有个人文件备份,并且没有选择仅选择所需的文件。这种行为与我测试过的所有其他服务背道而驰,我认为这一点不方便。当我尝试仅备份一个文件夹(诚然,一个极端情况)时,这意味着我必须通过计算机的整个文件树并手动去选择其他一切.

Anyway, once your files are backed up, if you want to restore them you have to go through Backblaze's website. You can't use the beautiful desktop app. As is often (though not always) the case with cold storage, restores have to be "prepared," so you request the files you want, then wait for an email, and then download. Your files come in a ZIP archive, even when you only request one document, and there’s no option to restore files in place.

Finally, even though you have unlimited storage space to play with, Backblaze limits you to backing up a single device, and won't let you upload from network drives. Despite the stellar value proposition, these shortcomings kept it from taking our top spot.

Pros

  • Unlimited storage

  • Affordable

  • Simple app

缺点

  • 复杂的还原过程

  • Automatically selects all files

  • 只允许一台设备

我们如何测试云备份服务

除了担任News&Everation首席编辑外,我还为Wirecutter,DigitalCamerahq和Pentax论坛等网站写了有关相机和计算机的文章。我一生都花在了计算机屏幕上,并且使用Windows,Mac OS和Linux Distos都记录了无数小时。我为我一生中几乎每个人都建造了计算机。我管理了大学计算机实验室,基准计算机,实验室测试的摄像头以及在CES和IFA Berlin等行业贸易展览会上的数十个设备。当我不工作时,我可能正在忙于研究下一次技术。

那Dropbox或Google Drive呢?

If you're interested in purchasing a cloud storage service to back up your files, it's important to define what is and is not a cloud backup service.

Services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and MEGA are not cloud backup services. Sure, they're a great place to store files you access frequently, like documents or photos you want to share with family and friends, or files you want to move between your PC and phone. But they're not designed to restore everything on your PC in case of disaster.

Collectively, these services are known as "hot storage." That has nothing to do with the actual temperature of the server farm where the data is stored—it’s simply a term meaning your files are meant to be accessed frequently. Conversely, services like the ones I tested for this guide are called "cold storage," because the data is meant to sit untouched for months or years.

Cold storage comes with pros and cons compared to hot storage. On the plus side, it's cheaper per gigabyte. And of course, cold storage services like the ones I tested come with lots of features that ensure you can easily restore your system after a total loss—features you won't get with Google Drive and Dropbox. On the downside, it can take a lot longer to retrieve your data, and it's not easy to quickly share files you've backed up to cold storage with other people.

底线:For those who demand perfect privacy, this is the best choice.

SpiderOak ONE details:如果您需要备份...敏感的大自然,或者,如果您根本不信任不露面的公司不用步枪穿越您的东西,那么Spideroak是iDrive和Backblaze的一个很好的选择。它更昂贵,并且该应用程序在技术方面,但是没有其他平台提供相同的端到端隐私保护。

SpiderOak maintains what it calls a “No Knowledge” policy, meaning it doesn't have access to your password and doesn't know任何事物关于您在其服务器上存储的数据。所有文件均通过256位AES加密保护,并在文件中运输时使用SSL。为每个用户提供一个个人加密密钥 - 具有一些竞争服务的选项,但在这里需要。Spideroak的数据中心本身是地震,洪水和防火和SAS 70 II型II型,人员配备24/7,并定期审核客户的安心。

除了安全问题之外,蜘蛛侠是一项全方位的体面服务,有一些问题。Windows应用程序无法在我的4K显示器上正确扩展(公司说正在解决问题的问题),而且精通技术较少的用户可能会发现所提供的一系列选项有些不知所措。转移速度对我来说是坚实的,这很好,因为蜘蛛射线不允许硬盘播种或修复。不过,总而言之,我们认为Spideroak的年度较高成本(每年129美元的1TB存储费用)不值得兴起,除非您对安全性真正狂热。

Pros

  • 极其私密

  • Fast

缺点

  • Options can be overwhelming

  • Pricey

Acronis TrueImage 2018

我喜欢使用Acronis trueimage 2018,但是与竞争相比,它非常昂贵。在很大程度上,这是因为TrueImage并不是真正的云备份软件 - acronis的主要重点是本地备份,磁盘克隆和勒索软件保护。如果您为更高的服务付费,它的Acronis Cloud Service本质上是该软件随附的附加组件。Acronis提供了几个订阅层,每年起价50美元,用于250GB的云存储,最高为5TB,价格为260美元。

TrueImage 2018软件光滑且精致,具有深刻的功能列表和丰富的自定义选项,尽管如此,对于新手来说,这仍然不应该感到压倒性。上载非常快,部分原因是Acronis做了任何竞争对手的事情:它允许您选择存储设施。它也很更多的storage facilities than most rivals, so the chances that you’re close to one of them is likely higher—particularly if you don't live in the US. Speed aside, TrueImage comes with all of the features we look for in a cloud backup solution. If you're willing to pay the asking price, it's a solid pick. We just don't see why you would when iDrive does all the same stuff for less.

Pros

  • 最多5TB存储

  • Fast

  • Customizable

缺点

  • Pricey

如果您是NPR侦听器,那么当您想到云备份时,碳岩可能是想到的名字,而哈里森·福特(Harrison Ford)的潜意识图像则包裹在坚不可摧的石头中,给人以某种无法言喻的安全感。但是该品牌的新闻广播广播和Star Wars不幸的是,协会不会转化为世界障碍的云备份体验。真的没有什么错误的with Carbonite, but there's nothing to recommend it over rivals like iDrive and Backblaze, either.

Though it allows for unlimited backups, Carbonite costs more than Backblaze and offers fewer features. Its app is also less intuitive (and less attractive), and there are more restrictions on what you can upload. (Files over 4GB are a no-no, for instance.) Perhaps the biggest flaw in Carbonite is that its Mac app is missing two important features Windows users enjoy: versioning and personal key encryption.

通过碳岩检索文件更简单,因为您可以通过该应用程序进行操作,但是我认为这没有足够的理由来选择它,而不是一般抛光的backblaze。与iDrive相比,碳岩的上传较慢,并且提供的功能较少,尽管大多数情况下它要便宜一些。

Pros

  • 无限备份

  • 窗户上的个人加密键

缺点

  • 限制文件大小和输入

  • Pricey

Zoolz家族的产品形象
Zoolz家族

有时,一个未知的品牌会让您感到惊讶。Zoolz在很大程度上就是这种情况,在研究本指南之前,我从未听说过。这家小型公司以英国为单位,提供了平稳的云备份体验,并具有抛光(如果偶尔慢)的应用程序。它提供了许多出色的功能,包括个人加密密钥和备份外部和NAS驱动器的能力,并且默认情况下还允许从多个设备备份。

但是所有的都不是Zoolz的乐趣。一方面,它不允许连续备份。取而代之的是,它仅按计划运行,因此,如果您的系统在错误的时间下降,则可能不会备份关键文件。对于另一个人来说,恢复需要比其他服务要长得多。在我想恢复一张照片的一个实例中,Zoolz应用程序开始下载它的几乎整整一天。竞争对手服务仅需几秒钟即可检索同一文件。最后,Zoolz的价格并不好。当它不发售时,您可以预计每年只需支付70美元的存储空间,也可以以每年100美元的价格升级到4TB。

Pros

  • Well-designed app

  • 允许多个设备

  • Personal encryption keys

缺点

  • Backups run on a schedule

  • Slow restores

  • Pricey

MozyHome

Mozy已经存在云备份的场景了than most in this list, but it unfortunately hasn't kept up with the times. The company's app feels slow and the design is outdated. It's missing a lot of features, like network drive backups and continuous updates, and the pricing definitely doesn't help the situation. $72 a year gets you a mere 50GB of storage, and to get 125GB—still far less than you get with most competitors—you have to pony up $120. There's simply nothing here to justify that kind of spending.

Pros

  • 我们找不到

缺点

  • 慢速应用

  • 设计差

  • 存储不多

像Mozy Home一样,ElephantDrive提供了非竞争性的定价和一个糟糕的应用程序,比您想象的要艰难。该应用程序无法正确缩放高分辨率监视器,并且导航非常不直觉。备份是一个痛苦的设置andto manage, because the app doesn't have a centralized interface. To change your backup settings, Windows users have to right-click the ElephantDrive icon in the system tray, then navigate to the settings sub-menu, which opens... wait, you're looking a little lost. Well, so was I—it’s even more confusing than it sounds. At $10 per month ($120 per year) for 1TB of storage, it's just not worth putting up with.

Pros

  • 我们找不到

缺点

  • Unintuitive app

  • 存储不多

  • Pricey
