Backblaze Control Panel

Disclaimer: I work for Backblaze and wrote a lot of the client. Make sure you have left the control panel in 'Continuously' mode, and leave your computer running for at least 6 hours with all your external hard drives plugged in. Make sure you don't have any power savings modes that put the computer to sleep, not even the monitor. On 2021-04-12 the control panel claimed that 'You are backed up'. The ISSUES tab was like: # SkippedFilesReportStarted: 2021-04-12 14:59:57 No Issues Found. 3) And yet, I suspected something was fishy, so took a look at the explainfile (generated by the Backblaze debug tool) - there WERE in fact issues with at least one on my files and it was.

Backblaze Oscar peterson boogie blues etude pdf. offers no-frills, unlimited backup for Windows and Mac OS based computers for $5 per month per computer. There are no free backup offerings except for a 15 day trial that doesn't require a credit card number to start. You can select a monthly subscription or a yearly option for a small savings.

Backblaze also has a 'for business' offering, which has the same exact features and costs. The differences for Backblaze Business are:

  • Central billing for multiple unique accounts. (Where each account is tied to an individual person & could have multiple computers like the standard service.)
  • Central reporting for multiple accounts. (A weekly email summary with which computers are backed up, how much data is left, etc.)
  • Ability to pay via invoice. (In addition to pay via credit card.)

The service is focused on backup and doesn't offer options to store anything that doesn't reside on the computer being backed up.

By default, Backblaze selects most everything on your computer to be backed up. If that's not what you want, it offers only exclude-type selection for drives, folders and files types. You can't however, exclude the C drive or individual files.

Also by default, Backblaze will save files up to 4 GB in size, but this can be extended to 9 GB, or reduced to as low as 5 MB. Upload bandwidth use is controlled via a simple slider.

Backblaze doesn't offer archiving, but will save an unlimited number of file versions out to a 30 day limit.

Restore

The service has a web interface where you can select files and folders for restore. Selections are packed into a zip file for download; you can't download individual folders and files directly.

For large restores there are options to have a DVD or USB hard drive overnighted.

In keeping with its no-frills approach, Backblaze doesn't offer remote file access, browsing or retrieval optimized for mobile devices. But any device that supports a web browser and the ability to open zip files can retrieve files.

Support is strictly via email and online ticket, with no option for phone support or online chat.

Finally, for the ultra paranoid, there is the ability to specify a private encryption key using 1-50 characters. If you lose this key, however, Backblaze can do nothing to recover your data.
