*BackBlaze* is a cross platform online backup service. It's easy to use and
offers unlimited storage space. BackBlaze for Mac has however been designed
specifically for Mac and is fully integrated into OS X. It's main market are
those people that continually forget to backup their data and want an
automated solution. It's free for the first 15 days but then costs $5 a month
after that. The setup process is very straightforward. BackBlaze backs up all
data and simply requires an email address and password to setup your account.
Data is then automatically backed-up and back ups can also pick-up from where
they left off if the user shuts down or interrupts it in anyway. BackBlaze
claims to offer military grade encryption both sent and stored data. In
addition, you can add your own encryption key if you choose. When you want to
retrieve data, you can do so picking out specific files or download
everything at once. If you're in the US, you can even order a DVD or USB copy
sent to you. Most recently, BackBlaze has been updated with Firewire drive
support although there's no such aupport for Thunderbolt connections yet.
*BackBlaze is an interesting alternative to services such as DropBox and
CrashPlan although the mandatory subscription will put many off.*Download
