The page describes the backup as automatic and unlimited, and the price is $9 a month for computer backup and unlimited cloud storage. The company's home page is mostly about B2 cloud storage for businesses and developers, so the personal product is separate from that business service.\n\nThe trial is free to start and, according to the page, needs no credit card. Restores from the cloud depend on your internet connection, so large restores take longer than local copies. Backblaze is a subscription product, which suits people who want backup handled for them rather than configured by hand."
