I renamed the drive, which seemed to get the Backblaze software past the glitch but the change forced a new initial backup.

You can see what is being backed up and, if a drive that is backed up isnt seen for a period of time, Backblaze sends you an email.Ībout a year ago, Backblaze stopped seeing my external drive. After the initial backup, the software simply runs in the background to detect and backup any new files. The software scans your files and does an initial backup. Just download the Backblaze software and pay the subscription fee. I keep almost all my documents in digital form. See positive reviewsīackblaze is a data backup service that I have had a subscription with for about three years. I guess on the plus side it only goes back 30 days for deleted files. If I want it back the way it was I would have to download all of the files that were ever present in that folder since I started backing it up even those files that have long since been deleted. So for instance lets say I deleted the 'My Documents' folder by accident. When trying to return a folder to it's state as of a specific day it only allows you to recover the files that were backed up on that day not the entire folder as it was at that point and time. First off the backup speeds have been excellent (I backed up 2 Terabytes) in just over a week. Prior to Mozy I had used Carbonite which to my dismay greatly reduces its customers upload speeds as soon as their trial period ends (of course after they pay). When I discovered Backblaze it was right after Mozy decided it was no longer going to offer an unlimited backup plan to it's customers.
