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
