Backblaze – Online Backup Tool for Users

Backblaze is an online backup tool that allows Windows and Mac OS X users to back up their data to an offsite data center. The service is designed for end-users, for unlimited space. It allows the user to back up data continuously, manually, when the computer is idle, or on an hourly schedule.

Backblaze automatically backs up all of your data, unless they are explicitly excluded. Your music, photos, files in My Documents, on your desktop,etc. By default the only files that are excluded are the operating system, applications, and unnecessary files such as your trash. Backblaze backs up individual files up to 9,000 MB (9 GB). You can increase this from the 4 GB default in the Backblaze Settings panel. It will automatically continue where it left off during its backup the next time you’re connected to the Internet and not using your computer.
