Backblaze is an online backup tool that allows Windows users to back up their data to an offsite data center. The service is designed for end-users, costing $5 per month for unlimited space^[1]. It allows the user to back up data automatically, manually, when the computer is idle, or on an hourly schedule. The service makes use of AES encryption for security, and uses data compression and bandwidth throttling to reduce upload and download times. Files that need to be restored can be delivered in the form of an online interface, a USB drive, or a DVD^[2].
