After that it's back to the regular pricing, which is a reasonable $69.50 per year. This price works out to under $10 per year to back up all your devices. The alert messages are also misleading and annoying.In these days of ever-expanding photo and video libraries, especially on phones and tablets, you can't have enough backup storage. If you want to know what they mean by "XYZ" you're out of luck. My biggest complaint is that the instructions are basic and the online help does nothing other than repeat to you what you're already reading on your screen. Nottooshabby, because you can backup external drives, you could backup your Time Machine backups if you really wanted. You could even get to them them via the web and download to another computer. But you'd can immediately download any crucial files and you can select exactly which ones.
chscag is right that a full restore would be slow. If I had an internal drive failure, I could restore any files once I had reinstalled the system software. IDrive offers a connection to my backups long as I have an internet connection. At the time (maybe still?) BackBlaze wouldn't backup external drives. iDrive was well-reviewed, a competitive price, AND would back-up both my internal drive AND an external drive which holds all my media. I work for myself as well as digital file as much as I can, and I don't want to lose all that.
I use iDrive for offsite protection in case of disaster. The plugs go bad, especially if you plug and unplug them a lot (if you move your work space frequently, like a digital nomad or in and out of student housing). My experience is that drives need replacing every few years. As others suggested, you should be able to plug a drive into your wifi router and just let it do its thing. Time Machine is great for continuous backups. If Time Machine isn't working for the way you work, but a web-based backup will, that's what you should use! I use both. First off, the best back-up is the one you're going to use.
