      Definitely has a lot of potential.

        How does recovery work? Pay a fee to have a drive mailed to you?

            Aaron McCormack, former support SpiceLord, works there now. He was able to hook me up with a beta key.

              You can either download it or have a drive/flash driver overnighted to you for a fee. I had to do a restore once and it took a couple days for me to download everything. But this was when Verizon or whoever was holding Netflix data hostage, so I think Backblaze got caught up in that blockade so things are probably faster now.

                Why hasn't he gotten people from BB posting here yet? This would be a great forum for them.

                  Dunno - I've pestered him a few times. They aren't on Spiceworks either, but that might be for cost. They do have a social media guy who posts on Twitter. I'll bug Aaron again now that there's a topic for their social guy to comment on.

                    That is a pretty good price.

                    We've been using CrashPlan but it is $10 a month.

                    But we use that for the management capabilities of it. I wonder what kind of management BB does/has for this business segment.

                      @BRRABill I've only used the home version for $5/month per computer. This page has info on the business version:

                        For some reason the whole page didn't load the first time.

                        DAUYM ... there is more info!

                        Looks like it has central admin. Looks like CPP but much cheaper.

                        Hmmmm. Viva la endpoint backup, for those of us endpoint data fans. (Cough @scottalanmiller, LOL.)

                          And their restore options are much cheaper than CPP.

                              I haven't tried CrashPlan, but I've been very happy with BB. They send you regular reports on your backups, so you know if your machine stops backing up for some reason. Restores were easy, and you can go in and grab individual files as needed.

                                I really like CrashPlan Pro (or Business I think they call it now) but it looks like BB now offers the same thing for significantly cheaper.

                                @nic is the BB offering live? And hells yeah get them on here! 🙂

                                  @BRRABill yeah the business one is live. It's the cloud storage that's still in beta. I pinged @aaron so hopefully he'll come in and answer any questions.

                                    What is the difference?

                                      The cloud storage beta is here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html
                                      It's meant to compete with Amazon's S3 service.

                                        Ah, so the business option isn't new. Got it.

                                            Not sure on that. I know they have a backup client you install, so that might be why the NAS wouldn't work.
