You need **endpoint backup** (the laptops scattered across cities, which no longer sit behind your office network) and **SaaS backup** (Google Workspace / M365 / GitHub, where most of the work product really lives). Here's who I'd name, in order:\n\n**1. Backblaze Business Backup - the default for small-to-mid remote teams.** Unlimited data per machine for a flat per-computer price (~$99/yr list, check current), silent agent install, continuous backup over any internet connection, and a central admin console with per-user restore. Its killer feature for remote work is restore-by-mail hard drive and web/mobile file access, so a person in another country can get a file back without IT. Weak on policy depth and compliance reporting - it's a good tool, not a governance platform. [backblaze.com](https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup/business)\n\n**2. CrashPlan for Endpoints (ex-Code42) - the strongest pure remote-laptop play.** Near-real-time continuous versioning, bandwidth throttling tuned for home internet, and genuinely good long version history for ransomware rollback.
