Cloud Backup Solution.

Crashplan installs a client on your machine and does regular incremental backups - as often as you configure it to. The $10 is per device backed up though, not sure about backblaze.

I think it pretty much does the same thing in that case.

Why not use some external hard drive ? USB one ? For free you will not get so much amount of space anywhere if that is the question really. I can recommend you to search for some paid options big cloud providers provide - that's it No other way. I would go with USB HDD

I had my photos on an external.... external now giving issues, battling to get last photos off... Moving to cloud as we speak

My working plan is to move everything over to a single large drive at home, then I'll have the S3 Glacier Deep Archive Storage and finally I'll resize everything to 16mb and upload it to google to act as an index.

Qnap and Synology NAS appliances have integrations into various cloud providers for backup and archiving including AWS and Azure.

With your use case, I think something like Storsimple would be good but with a professional rather than enterprise price tag.

If you are using Win 10 (And bonus if you are on Office 365), then just use the OneDrive 1TB storage.

With Win 10 you can also set OneDrive to sync MyDocs, Desktop and Pics folders. And then you can use the Files on Demand feature to save local HDD space (Win 10 only). Files on Demand just keeps a local copy of files you regularly use while the rest is indexed to cloud with a once off download if needed.

Then one day when you format your PC just sign onto OneDrive again and voila, it's all back. Or you can access it via browser anywhere for convenience.

The one major downside to OneDrive though is not being able to select custom folders for sync - at least the business version (I seem to recall personal used to do this). So you just have to ensure your stuff is in the designated folders or copied manually.
