In reply to Pekka.

The blog wouldn’t really cover that – but Backblaze is not a bare-metal backup. We back up the user data on the machine. If you have specific questions about the service you can always ping support, they have live chat available! -> https://www.backblaze.com/help.html

Off topic – just general feedback: I’m giving backup advice to a colleague and came here to find out whether Backblaze can back up the entire system state (like Time Machine does) or just user files – and if it does, what the process of restoring a backed up Mac is. I failed to find either info on the site. :(

In reply to Brian Wilson. Been there. Was just giving you grief. Amazing what we do when we're bootstrapping our companies, isn't it. Look back now and I'm sure you shudder at the thought, but ya' gotta do what ya gotta' do. :-)

In reply to WaldenL. Brian from Backblaze here -> The "corporate office" was my 1 bedroom apartment, and data center computers have SUPER loud fans. So to get the sound reduced, I put the "Tuff Shed" on the back deck, drilled a hole to give it 1 Gbit/sec ethernet, and moved up to four of the original pods out there (not with customer data, we would "burn them in" and test them in the office before taking them to the data center). It was very successful, returned the "office" (my living room) back down to sane levels of sound and gave us some more room.
