    iCloud since I’ve been all in on the Apple ecosystem since … 2004ish (Tiger was a great OS).

    Pros:

    • Super fast
    • Doesn’t need to backup system files
    • No limit to # of devices, only storage size
    • Reliable
    • Restore process is arguably the easiest out of any solution
    • Priced fairly (despite people complaining, yeah their free tier is useless)

    Cons:

    • Only backs up Apple devices.
    • Relies on connection speed alone, no shipped hard drive option

    If I had to pick a platform agnostic one it’d be Backblaze.

    Pros:

    • Solid
    • Light on resources
    • Fairly priced (last I checked) and unlimited is reasonable
    • Can do shipped hard drive restores if needed.

    Cons:

    • Limited backup controls
    • Must provide key to decrypt on restore
    • Restore process sucks
