How to Cancel Backblaze
Skycopia rates Backblaze as medium to cancel, though you can do it yourself online. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
🔍 The founder's own audit flagged $19,207/yr — 62 recurring charges out of 6,027 transactions, real numbers as of July 2026.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Backblaze bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.
Free to set up — no card needed.

Cancellation steps
- 1
There's no single "Cancel" button — sign in to the web console, then under Computer Backup → Preferences, delete each backup one at a time (a confirmation code is emailed to you first).
- 2
Then go to Computer Backup → Overview → Unused License section and delete each now-unused license — repeat for every backup/license pair on the account.
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Backblaze?
Deleting a backup immediately and irreversibly deletes the backed-up data itself, so don't delete before you've restored anything you still need. Backblaze support (helpme@backblaze.com) can answer questions but cannot cancel the subscription for you — it's self-serve only. Monthly plans are non-refundable once billed; annual and two-year plans only qualify for a full refund if you cancel within 30 days of subscribing. Backblaze emails a renewal reminder ahead of annual/biennial renewals, so that's your window to cancel before being charged again.
