What's New
Version 3.0.0.820:
- Scalability: When Backblaze 1.0 was being coded a decision was made for Storage Pods to have 3 digits (e.g. 065, 732, etc). Thanks to a growing number of customers and a growing amount of data, we’ll need more than 1,000 Storage Pods. We have over 100 Petabytes stored on about 800 Storage Pods now.

- Scalability: When Backblaze 1.0 was being coded a decision was made for Storage Pods to have 3 digits (e.g. 065, 732, etc). Thanks to a growing number of customers and a growing amount of data, we’ll need more than 1,000 Storage Pods. We have over 100 Petabytes stored on about 800 Storage Pods now. We could have added a digit or gone "hex", but instead we updated the entire referencing structure so it will scale to about 1.5 million Storage Pods.
- Datacenter focus: Backblaze 3.0 switched the point-of-view for data storage from the client to the datacenter. This allows for more efficient data storage, improved throughput, and faster integrity checking for data stored.
- Faster deduplication: If the same file exists on your computer in multiple folders/directories, Backblaze will dedupe the file for backup and restore. We’ve always done this. For 3.0 we’ve basically doubled the speed of the deduplication process. Backups, both initial and incremental, will be faster, especially for someone with lots of duplicated files.
- Large-file improvements: Files have continued to increase in size over the years. It is not unusual to have a 3 GB video file for example. Such files are broken down into parts before they are encrypted, transferred and stored at Backblaze. We improved the speed and effectiveness of locating and reassembling these very large files when they need to be restored.
Migrated from iDrive to Backblaze and haven't looked back. The only thing I fault with this app is that when it starts to backup my drives, it slows my whole system down to a crawl, and many times I have to postpone the backup due to working. I have it on Automatic Throttle, which *should* recognize that I'm using the Mac and adjust accordingly, but that's not the case. Other than that, $4.99/month for unlimited backup is very nice.
using it for 2 years 3 times now the backup got corrupted and it freezes everything for no reason so, again re-upload for several days.
