Comparison of online backup services

This is a 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.

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.
