    Transition From Monthly To Annual Subscription Supported By Responsive Service Team

    Oct 3, 2025
    We have been utilizing BackBlaze for a few years now, on a month to month subscription basis. I worked with our CSM Josh R to move to an annual subscription model. He provided us with multiple options and quick answers to questions. They worked within our process to get us set up, which we truly appreciate.
