David I agree with Mark you have other problems completely unrelated to backblaze. I’ve been using the trail and its working superbly. I have tried doing a download of my data of 1GB. It was ready within minutes and downloaded quick. The monthly cost is cheap. This should not be your primary backup, but certainly something extra, that all mac and pc users can use. It is ready for prime time and is working well now. Just be aware that the costs are in American Dollars, as it does not say that anywhere on their website at the moment. As long as you know that, you can work out what the cost is for you in your own countries dollars. The answer support questions very quickly too. Well recommended to all.

@Dave Barnes

You’ve got other problems unrelated to Backblaze. I’m using the backup service and my Mac’s not “screwed up,” FireWire speed has not been affected and Dreamweaver functions just fine.

Your unrelated issues have something to do with a corruption on your own system.

I just sent this to BackBlaze Feedback:

1. I paid money to sign up for BackBlaze.
2. I canceled 3 days later.
3. I don’t want my money back.
4. Your UNinstalled process sucks. I am used to running AppZapper to nuke an application, but it did not find the appropriate files.
5. So, why did I uninstalled BB and cancel my service?
Because the initial backup process totally screwed up my Mac. It ate resources like nobody’s business.
Firefowe performance went into the toilet.
Dreamweaver was completely unusable.

Overall, a horrible experience.

How impossible. Would anyone trust their files to internet operated systems? What if the system is down etc etc. Why not develop something for people themselves? Apple seems too understanding.

I use backupanytime which has an auto select feature which you can use to ensure you do not miss and files (current or new) regardless of location. You can read about it on http://www.back.../whitepaper.htm or see what users say on http://www.back...nytime.com/blog

i’m sure its not long before google release some sort of g-drive, google docs already allows a good deal of remote reliability for documents, and with the recent addition of PDF support just about any print media can be converted and uploaded, albeit not so easily or automated

I’m president of Remote Backup Systems (RBS). I’ve been watching the remote backup market since I wrote the first software for it in 1986 for use over 1200 baud telephone modems. Contrary to Peter’s opinion, I see the current market as ripe for new Service Providers like Backblaze. RBS starts about 200 new Service Providers a month, and right now we are watching them grow by leaps and bounds. I am sure Backblaze will, too. From all I can see, they’re doing everything right.

The online backup market is getting over saturated, new companies getting in the band wagon daily.

Just check out the review site, BackupReview.info and see how many are listed and also check out the daily news.

I am not sure if any new company entering the market today will be here next year.

Online backup services are great but don’t replace your own sequential backup systems you should develop at home on external hard drives… even if it’s dragging/dropping to USB HDs. I would use online as a last-hope in case my house burned down with all my backups but short of that… and a good safe, these online services shouldn’t be used as your primary backup.

SugarSync is currently down – for 8:21 maintenance?
I just signed up and the thing is already broken. Yikes.

I use Mozy right now and it works quite well, but I’m interested in BackBlaze’s FSCAN technology that they claim is barely noticeable when running. Mozy works, but it’s a resource hog when it’s actually doing a backup. Can anyone compare BackBlaze to Mozy at this time or is it too early?

Jason: There are so many backup companies coming into the market everyday, it's hard to know who to trust. Carbonite's CEO posted a blog entry about how difficult it is to figure out how to do online backup right. With the recent news of the security firm that hacked into a bunch of online backups (Carbonite and Mozy were the only ones who denied them), I'd recommend sticking with a company that's been around awhile and has everything figured out. I think companies like Carbonite and Mozy know what they're doing and do it well.

Another Jungledisk user here, tried Mozy, Carbonite and others and went with Jungledisk. Can’t say enough good things about it, their responsive forum/support is top-notch.

What’s great is having a locally mapped drive to your bucket. The new Jungledisk 2.0 (in beta) is well-worth looking into with their bucket schemes:

i tried the new upline service by HP figuring that finally someone I can trust for quality backup. After 3 weeks, still no successful bakcups, file type restrictions and being down for a few days. Not a good experience and they gave be 2 years of FREE service. Funny thing is I still don’t know if I can afford it!

Data backup is everything now. I’ll stick with multiple drive backups for now.
