## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Remote teams" usually means two separate backup problems, and most people only solve one: **laptops scattered across the world** and **the SaaS where the real work lives** (Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / Slack). You need both. Here's who I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## Laptop / endpoint backup
> 
> **1. CrashPlan for Enterprise** - my default recommendation for a distributed team. It's built for exactly this: continuous near-real-time backup over any internet connection, no VPN, no on-prem appliance, unlimited version history, and a central console where IT can see every endpoint and restore on a user's behalf. Transparent pricing around $2.99/user/month or ~$88/year. It's been the "remote laptop fleet" answer for a decade and still is.

> 
> **2. Backblaze Business Backup** - the one I'd pick if you want it to just work with minimal admin. Unlimited data per machine, silent deploy, dead-simple restores, and a Groups console for centralized billing and management. Runs ~$9/computer/month, which is more than CrashPlan per seat but genuine
