Our verdict
Suited to bloggers and small businesses who want daily backups with 30 days of restore points and in-house support around the clock. It is a weaker pick if you care about predictable long-term cost, as third-party checkout snapshots show renewals around four to seven times the intro price. Plan prices are not printed on the provider's page and only appear in the checkout.
