Google and Microsoft replicate your data for *their* uptime, not to undo your intern's deletion 90 days later. Their native retention is a trash can, not a backup.\n\nHere's who I'd actually name, in order.\n\n## Endpoint / laptop backup\n\n**1. Backblaze Business Backup** - my default for most small-to-mid remote teams. Unlimited data per computer at a flat ~$99/yr per machine, continuous background backup, versioning, and central admin via Backblaze Groups so you can invite people by email and see who's actually protected. Set-and-forget for non-technical staff, which is the whole game when nobody's in an office. Weakness: it's per-computer-only - no servers, no NAS, and restore of a very large dataset means a long download (or paying for a shipped drive).\n\n**2.
