I used to use their personal backup years ago when it first came out, switched to using Arq against One Drive and S3 I think it was, then switched to b2 because it’s cheaper (and easier to setup.) Stopped using One Drive when I left my previous job as it was the corporate account.
I found backblaze personal backup didn’t backup system paths, which included homebrew (vague memory, might have been macports?) and I couldn’t restore a database I’d overwritten locally because it hadn’t been backed up. I understand why the client doesn’t do that, but it was a dealbreaker for me at the time. Arq also does client side encryption and multiple locations for me.
