Recently a former co-worker of mine contacted me to tell me about his new startup -最近,一個前同事的排雷與我聯繫,告訴我他的新的啟動- BackBlaze . I gave the service a try, and I have to admit - this is by far the easiest backup service I’ve ever used.我給服務嘗試,我不得不承認-這是迄今為止最簡單的備份服務我已經使用過。 Keep reading for the full review and a link to give the service a try.請閱讀全面審查和一個鏈接,使服務的嘗試。

Backblaze Philosophy: Backup All Data Backblaze哲學:備份所有的數據

The Backblaze service backs up all your data. Backblaze服務的備份所有的數據。 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.我們認為你不應該不必擔心你是否選定的所有文件你關心,把任何文件在不同的位置您的計算機上,或增加任何新的文件可能不包含在您的備份。 Therefore, we automatically select all your data.因此,我們自動選擇您的所有數據。

Excluded Files排除檔案

Backblaze does not want to waste your bandwidth or Backblaze datacenter disk space. Backblaze不想浪費你的帶寬或Backblaze數據的磁盤空間。 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,我們不備份您的作業系統,程序文件,或臨時互聯網文件,是短暫的,不會有用的未來。 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,我們還排除某些文件類型的電子郵件,因為他們改變收到的每封電子郵件和整個大文件將備份和檔案,個別超過100 MB的。 You can see these exclusions by clicking on “More Options…” in the Control Panel and selecting the “Exclude from Backup” tab.你可以看到這些排除通過點擊“更多選項... ”中的控制面板,並選擇“排除備份”標籤。

And their software truly follows their philosophy.和他們的軟件真正如下他們的哲學。 You run the installer, and you’re done.您運行安裝程序,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認為您的所有照片/圖片,音樂,電影,文檔,瀏覽器收藏夾和書籤等,並支持他們。 They have made backups so simple that yes, even your parents can do it.他們已作出備份這麼簡單的是,即使你的父母能做到這一點。

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).在結束安裝, BackBlaze告訴你什麼是即將開始備份(注:有這麼幾個文件,下面的截圖,因為我使用的軟件幾乎新的Vista安裝) 。

You can pause backups at any time, and the “tips” window will rotate through various suggestions/tips for BackBlaze.您可以暫停備份在任何時候,和“提示”窗口將輪流通過各種建議/提示BackBlaze 。

The main Settings page allows for you to throttle the bandwidth used for backups, alter the notification schedule, and edit the top directories.主要設定頁面允許你油門的帶寬用於備份,改變日程的通知,並編輯頂端目錄。

From the Schedule page you can change how often backups occur.附表網頁上,您可以經常變化如何備份發生。 You will likely want to leave the default setting, so that files are uploaded as soon as they are added/changed.您可能會想要離開的默認設置,這樣,上載檔案,盡快為他們在添加/更改。

By default, BackBlaze includes all of the Windows System folders to be excluded from being backed up.默認情況下, BackBlaze包括所有的Windows系統資料夾被排除在備份。 You can also use this section to add folders that you don’t want BackBlaze to backup.您也可以使用本節新增文件夾,你不想BackBlaze備份。

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種方法來恢復您的備份,並有機會面前的產品成為“最後” ,他們將不得不改變。 The existing options are: 1) Back From The Web.現行的辦法是: 1 )回從網站上。 You can choose sets of 1GB or less (BackBlaze zips your files into a 1GB zip file and you download that file).您可以選擇兩套1GB或較少( BackBlaze您的檔案壓縮成一個1GB的zip文件和您下載該文件) 。 You can download an unlimited number of 1GB zip files.你可以下載一個無限數量的1GB的zip文件。 2) BackBlaze will FedEx a 4.7GB DVD of your files. 2 ) BackBlaze將聯邦快遞的4.7GB的DVD一為您的檔案。 A fee applies, and this is one of the options that may be removed.適用的費用,這是一個選項,可能會被刪除。 3). 3 ) 。 BackBlaze will load 160GB of your files onto a USB hard drive, and FedEx the drive to you. BackBlaze負荷160GB的將您的文件到USB硬盤驅動器,驅動器聯邦快遞給你。 A fee applies for this option as well, and the final price has yet to be set.費用適用本辦法以及,最終價格尚未確定。

BackBlaze runs in the background all the time. BackBlaze在後台運行的所有時間。 It uses very little system resources and really does define the “set it and forget it” philosophy of software.它使用很少的系統資源,並確實確定了“集,並忘記它”哲學的軟件。

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,開始對這一審查,這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,我將列出一些缺點BackBlaze除了利益。 Here goes.在這裡不用。

Pros利弊

  • It is painfully easy to setup and use.這是痛苦易於安裝和使用。 You don’t need to hunt through all of your folders to make sure they’re being backed up您不必通過尋找您所有的文件夾,以確保自己被後盾
  • Unlimited backup space. 無限的備份空間。 So if you have 300GB of audio files, they’ll backup your 300GB of audio files.因此,如果您有300GB的音頻文件,他們將備份300GB的音頻文件。
  • 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如果您刪除了您硬盤上的文件,將繼續BackBlaze該文件的服務器為30天,這樣你就可以恢復,如果您需要
  • Very competitive price.極具競爭力的價格。 $5/mo is cheaper than most backup services. $ 5/mo是不是最便宜的備份服務。
  • 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.在這樣一個時代, iMovie和簡單的視頻編輯軟件,越來越多的人正在創造數字視頻-以及這些檔案幾乎總是大於1 00MB。 With that said, BackBlaze is looking at ways to remove the 100MB limit這一說, BackBlaze是考慮如何消除100MB的限制
  • No .pst backup.沒有的。 pst備份。 PST files are the ones that Outlook uses to store all of your email. PST文件是那些Outlook使用儲存您所有的電子郵件。 That means BackBlaze doesn’t backup Outlook mail.這意味著BackBlaze不備份Outlook郵件。 Again, they’re looking for a way around that - but it is a current limitation.再次,他們正在尋找一種方式圍繞這個-但它是一個電流限制。
  • No Mac or Linux client.沒有Mac或Linux平台客戶端。 Yet.然而。 Stress yet應力尚未 .
  • 15 days (the length of the trial) is a pretty short period to determine if you want to sign up. 15天(長度的審判)是一個相當短的時間內,以確定是否要註冊。
  • So - there you have it.所以-有你有它。 Now give it a try.現在給它一個嘗試。 Visit訪問 https://www.backblaze.com/simplehelp網址為: https : / / www.backblaze.com / simplehelp and the first 25 folks who sign up can skip the “invitation needed” requirement.和第一次25人誰註冊可以跳過“邀請需要”的要求。

    I work at Backblaze and yesterday was a big day for us.我工作在Backblaze和昨天是一個重要的日子對我們來說。 We had some press from other sites and the beta slots filled up quickly.我們有一些來自其他新聞網站和測試插槽填補了迅速。

    After working a year and a half on the product, we are excited about people’s response.經過一年半的產品,我們感到很振奮人的回應。 We are having some growing pains, so if the install hangs on the Analyzing Drive part, you may want to try the install again.我們有一些成長的痛苦,因此,如果安裝掛起的分析道的一部分,您可能會想要嘗試再次安裝。 It shouldn’t take longer then 5 minutes for the install to finish.它不應該需要更長的時間然後5分鐘安裝完成。
