## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote team, "backup" is really two separate problems, and most people only solve one. Your laptops are scattered across home networks with no VPN or file server in the middle, **and** your actual business data mostly lives in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, which neither Google nor Microsoft truly backs up for you (their retention is a trash can with a timer, not a restore point). Here's what I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## Endpoint / laptop backup
> 
> **1. Backblaze Business Backup** - my default for teams under ~100 people. Unlimited data per machine, roughly $8-9 per seat/month, a central admin console, and it just runs continuously in the background without the user thinking about it. Mac and Windows. The reason it wins for remote teams specifically: it's bandwidth-friendly over residential connections, and the restore story (download, or they mail you a drive) works for someone sitting in another country. Weakness: no Linux client, and group policy controls are thin. ([pricing](https://costbench.com/software/backup-recovery/backblaze/alternatives/))
> 
> **2. Druva Data Security Cloud (inSync)** - what I'd move to past ~150 seats or anywhere with a compliance obligation. F
