Comparison of online backup services
Online backup is a special kind of online storage service; however, various products that are designed for file storage may not have features or characteristics that others designed for backup have. Online Backup usually requires a backup client program. A browser-only online storage service is usually not considered a valid online backup service.
This is a comparison of online backup services.
Online folder sync services can be used for backup purposes. However, some Online Folder Sync services may not provide a safe Online Backup. If a file is accidentally locally corrupted or deleted, it depends on the versioning features of a Folder Sync service, whether this file will still be retrievable.

Legend
- ^1 Windows/Linux/Mac/iOS/Android/BlackBerry: Supported operating systems for thick client (native binary application), which provide background data transmission and setting services.
- ^2 Zero knowledge: The service provider has no knowledge of the user's encryption key, ensuring privacy of the backup data.[91][92][93]
- ^3 Secure Key Management: If yes, the user holds and controls the encryption key. If no, the service provider holds and controls the encryption key.
- ^4 Payment options/plans:
- Limited MB plan: Pay per computer. Additional fee for storage over a threshold.
- Unlimited MB plan: Pay per computer. Storage per computer is unlimited.
- $/MB plan: Pay per unit of storage, but unlimited computers may share that storage.
- ^5 Cloud hosted Net Drive: Cloud can serve storage over WebDAV, SMB/CIFS, NFS, AFP or other NAS protocol, allowing files to be streamed from the cloud. A change made to the cloud is immediately accessible to applications on all clients without needing to pre-download (sync) the file in full.
- ^7 Sync: Synchronization between computers, and/or mobile devices (PDA, MDA,...)
- ^8 Public Internet file hosting
- ^9 Restore via physical media
- ^10 Server location: Countries where physical servers are located. Where the data will be located.
- ^11 Still in Beta version
- ^12 Whether the desktop client (if available) can detect and upload changes without scanning all files.
- ^13 Many backup services offer a limited free plan, often for personal use. Often it is possible to increase the free backup limit through coupons, referrals, or other means that are not included in this column. This column also does not include free trials that are only available for a limited period of time.
- ^14 External hard drive support: Can refer to an alternate backup destination or whether the service can back up external drives.
- ^15 Hybrid Online Backup works by storing data to local disk so that the backup can be captured at high speed, and then either the backup software or a D2D2C (Disk to Disk to Cloud) appliance encrypts and transmits data to a service provider. Recent backups are retained locally, to speed data recovery operations.
- ^16 Unlimited BW: If bandwidth capping or limits are used on accounts.
