## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest framing first: "backup for remote teams" is really two separate problems, and most teams need both. (1) **Endpoints** - laptops scattered across homes and countries, never on a VPN. (2) **SaaS** - the Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 tenant where the actual work lives, which neither Google nor Microsoft backs up for you in the way people assume. Buying only endpoint backup is the most common mistake here.
> 
> ## For laptops/endpoints
> 
> **1. Backblaze Business Backup** - where I'd start for most small remote teams. Unlimited storage, $99/computer/year, agent installs in five minutes and just runs over any home internet connection with no VPN or on-prem appliance. Centralized admin console with per-user provisioning. The tradeoff is that per-seat pricing scales linearly, so it gets expensive past ~20 people.
> 
> **2. IDrive Team / IDrive Business** - best value once you're past a handful of people. Pricing is storage-based rather than per-seat, so 10 users on IDrive Team (~$199.50/yr) runs roughly 80% cheaper than the equivalent Backblaze bill. It also covers servers and NAS alongside laptops, which Backblaze doesn't. Downside: you have to actually manage a storage quota.
> 
> **3.
