User’s Need for QNAP Backup to Backblaze

QNAP (Quality Network Appliance Provider) is committed to providing comprehensive solutions for software development, hardware design and Internal control structure.

Therefore, many users need to back up important data in QNAP to the cloud, and Backblaze is an excellent place. What are the advantages of Backblaze over other backup options?
