Backblaze Backup Software
Having used Backblaze backup for several weeks now, it is apparent that the price is very good. However the speed of backup and restore leaves an awful lot to be desired. You must have several days for Backblaze to create the zip file of your files before you can download the restore files. The initial backup also takes quite a long time to occur. The restore files are accurate and do restore your data. Backblaze is also useless for backing up your windows installation and any iso's which may contain your system. Better than nothing BUT you need lots of time to backup and restore.
Update :
Just discovered another problem with Backblaze. The Help Desk does not work on weekends or holidays. If you have a problem, you have to wait until they get through all the questions in the queue before they get to you, a worst case would be the long holiday periods. They try for one business day. This is a real problem over the bigger holiday times when the queue could get quite large! Bummer!!
