Seriously, Backblaze said in plain text they don’t back up your Time Machine disk due to redundancy. What’s the point of backing up your back up? If you want your other data backed up either get a new drive and move it there OR partition the existing drive and move your data to a NEW partition and DO NOT select the partition for Time Machine.

hey buddy you are looking for exactly the same solution as me. Would not be surprised if you are also a DN, work remotely, travel & run a business direct from your computer. If you have found a way to do a 1 click restore online for a Mac, the same way you can on an iPhone, would be hugely helpful to know how to do this :-) email is danieldingham@me.com

Well thank you – but they are very unclear in what they offer. They promise they will back everything up and send a usb of your whole machine if you lose it, but they DONT say that you have to spend days installing all your softwares and settings. Ibackup and dollydrive to both SAY they offer time machine backups

Hello Nic, Backblaze won’t back up your applications/programs so unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to do what you indicated, Backblaze may not be the right solution if that’s what you’re looking for!

But YevP this is RIDICULOUS! ALL I WANT IS OT BACKUP MY TIME MACHINE ONLINE AND BE ABLE TO VIEW MY FILES IN THAT LOCATION ANYWHERE I AM IN THE WORLD. Now why is that so difficult to do? I dont mind paying extra for the operating system and softwares space… but you MUST understand that if i lose my machine i want to be able to simply download my download my time machine backup so that i can one click restore my new machine to be back like it was. I DO NOT want to spend days remembering what my softwares and settings were! That is the whole point of a backup! Am I missing something very obvious here???? Or is BackBlaze doing the same?!?!?!

Because it is not a clone – you CANNOT simply click restore from BackBlaze if you lose your machine and have to backup. With Time Machine you CAN do that. Why BB do not offer this service is beyond me.. they are saying we are stupid and that we will only find out when it is too late that we have to spend HOURS reinstalling all our softwares and setting etc to get our new machine as the old one was. Unbelieveable oversight from them as OBVIOUSLY all mac users will want this very useful and simple service even if we have to pay more for it!

So glad I read this before I forked out the cash! I have Time Machine back up on my external harddrive and hoped Backblaze would just back up the whole lot :(
