I paid under 90 bucks for my 2TB external USB HDD (bought two since it was backups) so why are you thinking online here?
My online backup is about a set of files I want to double backup.

Hello,
I recently started looking for a way to backup my (whole) pc to an online service in case of any disasters with my PC (already have a local backup, but I would love an online backup too just in case), so after reading a lot of reviews about different services (mixing from good reviews to bad reviews where some customers even lost all of their backed up files), I still am not able to make up which one would be the best for me (just need to backup around 500gb and some things on my Android phone), so that's why i decided to try and ask it here for more honest answers and reviews, So my question is What would be the best Online Back up service I should use!

I run a small physio clinic in Canada and we we're recently mandated to keep our data stored in Canada. We were using Backblaze until we had move our data into canda. If your in the US backblaze is very easy to use. It automatically starts backing up your entire C: drive and I think you can add other drives if you want. If you want something cheap and quick to setup backblaze is great.
We spent some time checking out other backup services that are Canaidan owned but options for something affordable in Canada are pretty limted. we ended up with eazybackup, prcing was reasonable and we always get a real person on the phone which is one thing I hated about backblaze, so hard to get someone on the phone!
