Backblaze Offers Unlimited Hassle Free Backups For Your Computer

Backblaze is one of simplest and easiest backup utilities that I’ve come across to date. With just launching their Windows version in February of 2008, it is somewhat of a new player in the online storage and backup solutions industry but it has already been able to successfully set itself apart from the pack. The service has received rave reviews from industry experts and has also won an award for excellence.

Last week Backblaze announced the release of their beta version for Mac, which enables them to now provide backup services for computers that run either Windows or OS X operating systems. Once installed, Backblaze will automatically start the process of uploading the contents of your hard drive to Backblaze’s secure datacenters. After completing this task BackBlaze will quitely run in the background monitoring your files for any changes and automatically update them. In the event your computer crashes, you may restore your data at anytime by downloading a ZIP file or requesting a DVD or USB drive be sent to you.

While the strength of Backblaze is its simplicity, it also comes with lots of advanced settings and features like bandwidth and file size throttling, file archiving, multiple computers per account, and file exclusion. All backed-up files are encrypted prior to sending them over an encrypted connection to be stored at the Backblaze secure data center, which is both physically and electronically protected. Backblaze offers unlimited storage and backup for just $5 per month or you can receive two months free by purchasing a one-year subscription for $50. You can also receive a free 15-day trial version by signing up now. Keep in mind that your first backup will take some time to complete given todayâ€™s upload speeds. Currently Backblaze can backup approximately 2-4 GB per day on an average internet connection. However, once you’ve backed-up that data, Backblaze will keep auto updating as needed. There is also no requirement to backup all your data prior to testing all the features and functions of Backblaze during the 15-day free trial.
