Backblaze Referral Program Coming Soon!
During my day yesterday I noticed at one point that Yev, the social media guru from Backblaze, was going to be on Ask Tuaw. Since I was just sitting here coding a clients website yesterday I hopped on the live Google+ Hangout stream and listened in while I worked. By the way, that chat…
Backblaze 2.5 – The Tranquility Release
It has been a busy February for Backblaze, first announcing their new data center and now announcing a new version of the Backblaze software.

Backblaze Announces New Data Center

Restore Showdown – Backblaze vs. CrashPlan
Your cloud backup is only as good as your ability to restore your lost files. If you cannot restore your files from your service then it is pointless to have it in the first place. While I love to champion how great cloud backup is I still recommend that everyone keep local backups of your…

Backblaze has been busy lately and I thought instead of making individual post for each new thing they have announced lately I would save you and me some time and make one larger post. The latest news from Backblaze is mostly for Mac users in some ways. The latest version of OS X Mavericks was…
