Backblaze Version 2.0 Released

Backblaze just announced that version two of their backup software has been released. This release is mostly a release to improve performance of their client software but it offers some significant improvements with their service. While Backblaze offered unlimited storage they did have limits on file size (of 9GB) and what types of files would be backed up. This is no longer the case. Backblaze not only offers unlimited storage but also unlimited file size and file types!

The complete list of Backblaze improvements in this new release include:

Unlimited file size (up from 9 GB)
Backup any file type
Restore to 1TB external drive (up from 500 GB)
Added Automatic Throttle to maximize the efficiency of uploading of your connection
Backup VMware and Virtual Machines
Backup ISO filetypes
Real-time bandwidth speed test
Web downloads are unlimited as always. FedEx restore hard drives now available up to 1TB.
Silent mode
Reduced RAM usage
Don’t backup on battery mode
2x faster restore browsing
Quick access restore menu
Speedier external drive detection
External USB and Firewire drives appear almost instantly in the restore view.
Improved large file backup
SSL hardware acceleration
Customize temporary data location

If I missed something let me know in the comments. I will be upgrading my Backblaze install and testing the new version as soon as possible. I will also be updating the Backblaze review as soon as I can to reflect the new changes to the service.

The easiest online backup service just got easier and better!
