Backblaze allows you to encrypt your backups with the key being held only by you. It is seamless and runs in the settings part of my Mac. I certainly hope that I never have to recover my data in an emergency, but if I do, i feel better having made what I feel is a very reasonably priced purchase of this product.īackblaze runs in the background and engages in backups whenever your computer is connected to the internet. Lets face it, external hard drives can fail as easily as an internal hard drive. Opmerkingen: The benefit of knowing that my data is securely stored if my computer and my first line of backups fail. We just have to set really good reminders so we don't forget to plug it back in. We have had a slight issue w/ backing up our harddrive because we travel to different venues and use that same harddrive for our video footage. For a small non-profit we were so happy (and able to sleep better at night) knowing if our computer crashed we would be safe and able to keep going. Most platforms I had researched either had size limits or cost much more. Gone are the days when we would plug in a harddrive for back up and were lucky to remember to do it once a month.įirst of all you just can't beat their price for this type of automatic back up system.

The other benefit is everything runs in the background automatically. Now when we have a staff member leave we have them condense their files and transfer it to my computer as the Operations Director and I can make sure they are backed up and as needed given to new staff when the time comes. This was a huge loss of time having to rewrite manuals and operating documents. When in fact the files were lost because they were the original author.

Opmerkingen: The biggest problem Backblaze solved was that when we had previously used another company for backing up files (which was a more cloud based system) we lost files when a staff member deleted files thinking our main account was linked to them.
