VentureBeat: Simple backup service Backblaze now available to all Mac users

  • Cecily Walker · 8 months ago
    Like you, I was discouraged to discover that my Backblaze backup would exceed my trial period. I don't know the ins and outs of how it works, but the idea that it would take several weeks to back up all my data was a deal breaker for me. Suppose I had a catastrophic data loss in the middle of the backup - what good would the service be then?

    Hi Cecily,
    Backblaze will backup as fast as your Internet connection allows. On a typical home DSL or Cable connection, users can backup about 2-4 GB per day. Once your initial backup is done, we only upload incremental changes - thereby your backup should always be up-to-date.

    While any online backup may initially take a few weeks to finish - you will then forever be backed up and not need to worry about it.

    Give it a try today and you'll be entered to win one of 25 free 1-year licenses.
