I read a new review saying that they don’t have any useful support.

I had the same experience. Stay away.

Yes that 4GB thing is a problem — if you have more than that, best not to use Backblaze. I don’t have more than that (yet), so I am okay for now.

I was about to install backblaze and start using it but the thing that hold me back from using it asap was the 4gb limitation in file size???
It’s stupid.
I want to backup the ISO’s of my paid software in case PS or other programs I have on DVD stop working.
I also want to backup my FullHD movies.
Ok you never film something continuously so you exceed the 4gb limitation of backblaze, but when you combine the seperate files in order to make a short film you end up with files exceeding 4gb.
What’s your thoughts about it TREY?
I am asking because I read about backblaze in your last ebook (digital workflow) and I want to start implementing your workflow…
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

I’ve been using Mozy for the same purpose for over a year now. I’ve got almost 400GB up there now. It took quite a while, but it’s worth it.

The only complaint I have is that when I got a new external drive, it thought all the files were new and I had to re-upload them all. Any idea if Backblaze has a similar problem?

I completely agree – I grabbed Backblaze for my cloud backup in February – now I’m only half-way through backing things up (I don’t leave the computer on all the time), but half is better than nothing, and I’m confident it will finish the job.

Truly idiot-proof. You install it, and then it runs. it backs up EVERYTHING on your computer, so if you don’t care about your system files or something you have to tell it which folders to exclude.

I’ll second this. I’ve been using BackBlaze for about 6 months now. It’s incredibly easy to set up, works in the background, takes very little CPU and has a rather nice control panel allowing you to throttle it’s use of your uplink bandwidth. Their online interface to your stored files is also clean and intuitive.

Thanks for the review. I’ve been thinking about using this service and now I definitely will! “Trey says it’s good so I MUST use it!” hehe
