[AccessD] System Image Failure

[James Button]

Backblaze - 
Crashplan - about the same cost for the unlimited 1 month free? trial)  
Spideroak for 2GB free 

Basic consideration - 
Do you need the PC to be online at all times for the backup to work
Can you stop and start the facility manually and haver it 'catch-up' - or does it have to be running from system startup

Encryption and facility to sync to other PC's - when they connect 
What happens if a folder is removed from the list of 'stuff' to be backed-up
How is the backup to be managed

And - Speed of the backup as well as effect on the system of 'sync' if there's a few large files to be backed-up.

It's about time I reassessed the options for cloud backup of my system -
I expect to be looking to include the folder where the OS partition backups are placed 
That will be - an average of maybe 12GB a day for the main working system during the busy weeks of the year.

For general off-site data backups I use BackBlaze. Runs continuously on my system in background backing up *everything* I tell it to. For $5 a month (yes five) as a personal user I get unlimited storage. I have a couple of terra-bytes tucked away there.
