I'm using B2 to back up parts of a NAS and it works well. Price is reassonable, web interface is good.
I haven't used the Mac/PC client service. AFAIK you can pick & choose what to back up (e.g, exclude the system, app, and cache/temp dirs).

It's cheap and you can do past "version" restores ( so if I wanted to restore a file from last week...before I screwed it up...you can do it ), especially handy when talking about ransomware.
Essentially you tell it what drive you want it to backup and it handles the rest. There are some built in exclusions ( system / temp files, ect... ), but you can add to them.

TL;DR It exists and is on by default for personal backups, but is opt-in for B2: https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260803229390-Server-Side-Encryption-FAQ

Been using it for over a year now to backup my primary system with no complaints, but you do need to be aware that there are certain filetypes that by default, it does NOT backup (exe, for example).

you login to the web console and click individual files or select folders; they create a ZIP file and notify you when it's ready to download. the more files, the longer the wait. super easy.
Thanks.
