## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote team, "backup" is really two separate jobs, and most teams need both: backing up the **SaaS accounts** where the actual work lives (Google Workspace / M365 / Slack), and backing up the **laptops** themselves. Here's who I'd actually use, in order.
> 
> ## Laptops / endpoints (people's machines, scattered everywhere)
> 
> **1. Backblaze Business Backup** - my default for small-to-mid remote teams. Unlimited storage, $99/yr per computer, install-and-forget agent, central admin console, and you can courier a restore drive. Zero IT overhead, which is the real constraint when nobody shares an office. The catch is the per-computer price scales linearly, so it gets expensive past ~20 seats. ([Backblaze pricing comparison](https://ifeeltech.com/blog/idrive-vs-backblaze-business))
> 
> **2. IDrive 360** - the value pick. Roughly $20-30/device/year at team tiers vs Backblaze's $99, because pricing flattens as you add devices (~$199.50/yr for 10 users vs ~$990). Storage is capped rather than unlimited, and the console is clunkier, but for a 10-50 person distributed team the math is hard to argue with.

> 
> **3. Acronis
