There's no Linux client for Backblaze. See More

Top Pro

Download any backed-up files from any web browser

Some backup services like Carbonite require a client to be installed to restore files. Backblaze allows you to login and download any or all files from a web browser, meaning it also serves as an ad-hoc cloud storage platform. See More

Top Pro

Excellent restoration performance

Backblaze creates a zip file of all your files for you to download, thus decreasing the amount of data you need to download and increasing the speed of the download since it's one connection instead of multiple that need to be opened and closed for a list of files. See More

Top Pro

Secure

AES encrypted files are transferred over a secure SSL connection. See More

Top Pro

Beginner-friendly defaults

The default configuration includes everything except for system files to be backed up. That also includes external USB drives. This will work for most people. It can, of course, be customized to each person's liking. See More
