的Windows

Recently a former co-worker of mine contacted me to tell me about his new startup -最近,一个前同事的排雷与我联系,告诉我他的新的启动- BackBlaze . I gave the service a try, and I have to admit - this is by far the easiest backup service I’ve ever used.我给服务尝试,我不得不承认-这是迄今为止最简单的备份服务我已经使用过。 Keep reading for the full review and a link to give the service a try.请阅读全面审查和一个链接,使服务的尝试。

Backblaze Philosophy: Backup All Data Backblaze哲学:备份所有的数据

The Backblaze service backs up all your data. Backblaze服务的备份所有的数据。 We believe you should not need to worry whether you selected all the files you care about, put any files in a different location on your computer, or added any new files that may not be included in your backup.我们认为你不应该不必担心你是否选定的所有文件你关心,把任何文件在不同的位置您的计算机上,或增加任何新的文件可能不包含在您的备份。 Therefore, we automatically select all your data.因此,我们自动选择您的所有数据。

Excluded Files排除档案

Backblaze does not want to waste your bandwidth or Backblaze datacenter disk space. Backblaze不想浪费你的带宽或Backblaze数据的磁盘空间。 Thus, we do not backup your operating system, program files, or temporary internet files that are transient and would not be useful in the future.因此,我们不备份您的作业系统,程序文件,或临时互联网文件,是短暂的,不会有用的未来。 At the moment we also exclude certain email file types since they change with each email received and the entire large file would be backed up and files that are individually over 100 MB.目前,我们还排除某些文件类型的电子邮件,因为他们改变收到的每封电子邮件和整个大文件将备份和档案,个别超过100 MB的。 You can see these exclusions by clicking on “More Options…” in the Control Panel and selecting the “Exclude from Backup” tab.你可以看到这些排除通过点击“更多选项... ”中的控制面板,并选择“排除备份”标签。

And their software truly follows their philosophy.和他们的软件真正如下他们的哲学。 You run the installer, and you’re done.您运行安装程序,即可大功告成。 BackBlaze finds all of your Photographs/images, Music, Movies, Documents, Browser Favorites and Bookmarks etc, and backs them up. BackBlaze认为您的所有照片/图片,音乐,电影,文档,浏览器收藏夹和书签等,并支持他们。 They have made backups so simple that yes, even your parents can do it.他们已作出备份这么简单的是,即使你的父母能做到这一点。

At the end of the installation, BackBlaze tells you exactly what it’s going to start backing up (note: there are so few files in the screenshot below because I used the software on a nearly new Vista install).在结束安装, BackBlaze告诉你什么是即将开始备份(注:有这么几个文件,下面的截图,因为我使用的软件几乎新的Vista安装) 。

There are currently 3 methods to restore your backups, and there’sa chance that before the product becomes “final”, they will have changed.目前有3种方法来恢复您的备份,并有机会面前的产品成为“最后” ,他们将不得不改变。 The existing options are: 1) Back From The Web.现行的办法是: 1 )回从网站上。 You can choose sets of 1GB or less (BackBlaze zips your files into a 1GB zip file and you download that file).您可以选择两套1GB或较少( BackBlaze您的档案压缩成一个1GB的zip文件和您下载该文件) 。 You can download an unlimited number of 1GB zip files.你可以下载一个无限数量的1GB的zip文件。 2) BackBlaze will FedEx a 4.7GB DVD of your files. 2 ) BackBlaze将联邦快递的4.7GB的DVD一为您的档案。 A fee applies, and this is one of the options that may be removed.适用的费用,这是一个选项,可能会被删除。 3). 3 ) 。 BackBlaze will load 160GB of your files onto a USB hard drive, and FedEx the drive to you.

Pros and Cons利弊

As I mentioned at the start of this review, this company was founded by a former co-worker.正如我前面提到,开始对这一审查,这家公司是由一名前同事。 So in the interest of being completely fair, I will list some of the shortcomings of BackBlaze in addition to the benefits.因此,在利益的完全公平的,我将列出一些缺点BackBlaze除了利益。 Here goes.在这里不用。

Pros利弊

  • It is painfully easy to setup and use.这是痛苦易于安装和使用。 You don’t need to hunt through all of your folders to make sure they’re being backed up您不必通过寻找您所有的文件夹,以确保自己被后盾
  • Unlimited backup space. 无限的备份空间。 So if you have 300GB of audio files, they’ll backup your 300GB of audio files.因此,如果您有300GB的音频文件,他们将备份300GB的音频文件。
  • If you delete a file on your hard drive, BackBlaze will keep that file on their server for 30 days, so you can restore it if you need to如果您删除了您硬盘上的文件,将继续BackBlaze该文件的服务器为30天,这样你就可以恢复,如果您需要
  • Very competitive price.极具竞争力的价格。 $5/mo is cheaper than most backup services. $ 5/mo是不是最便宜的备份服务。
  • Cons保守派

  • The 100MB file size limit.在100MB的文件的大小限制。 In an age of iMovie and simple video editing software, more and more people are creating digital video - and those files are almost always larger than 100MB.在这样一个时代, iMovie和简单的视频编辑软件,越来越多的人正在创造数字视频-以及这些档案几乎总是大于1 00MB。 With that said, BackBlaze is looking at ways to remove the 100MB limit这一说, BackBlaze是考虑如何消除100MB的限制
  • No .pst backup.没有的。 pst备份。 PST files are the ones that Outlook uses to store all of your email. PST文件是那些Outlook使用储存您所有的电子邮件。 That means BackBlaze doesn’t backup Outlook mail.这意味着BackBlaze不备份Outlook邮件。 Again, they’re looking for a way around that - but it is a current limitation.再次,他们正在寻找一种方式围绕这个-但它是一个电流限制。
  • No Mac or Linux client.没有Mac或Linux平台客户端。 Yet.然而。 Stress yet应力尚未 .
  • 15 days (the length of the trial) is a pretty short period to determine if you want to sign up. 15天(长度的审判)是一个相当短的时间内,以确定是否要注册。
  • So - there you have it.所以-有你有它。 Now give it a try.现在给它一个尝试。 Visit访问 https://www.backblaze.com/simplehelp网址为: https : / / www.backblaze.com / simplehelp and the first 25 folks who sign up can skip the “invitation needed” requirement.和第一次25人谁注册可以跳过“邀请需要”的要求。

    I work at Backblaze and yesterday was a big day for us.我工作在昨天Backblaze和是一个重要的日子对我们来说。 We had some press from other sites and the beta slots filled up quickly.我们有一些来自其他新闻网站和测试插槽填补了迅速。

    After working a year and a half on the product, we are excited about people’s response.经过一年半的产品,我们感到很振奋人的回应。 We are having some growing pains, so if the install hangs on the Analyzing Drive part, you may want to try the install again.我们有一些成长的痛苦,因此,如果安装挂起的分析道的一部分,您可能会想要尝试再次安装。 It shouldn’t take longer then 5 minutes for the install to finish.它不应该需要更长的时间然后5分钟安装完成。
