BackBlaze for Mac

Backblaze for Mac automatically finds your photos, music, documents and data and backs it up. So you never have to worry. You have more important things to do than spend time picking files and folders to backup. That’s why Backblaze for macOS backs up your data automatically and constantly looks for new and changed files to backup. Install this software and never worry about losing a file again.

The program does not want to waste your bandwidth or the tool datacenter disk space. Thus, it does not backup your operating system, application folder, or temporary internet files that are transient and would not be useful in the future. It also excludes podcasts in iTunes.

Every online backup program says they are easy to use. It's almost become a cliche. But at the tool really wanted that to be true from start to finish. An example is the install experience. It doesn't have to ask the user to pick a bunch of filetypes and go looking for folders they want to backup. Most users don't know where all their files are kept on their Mac. "Also, we didn't want users to have to remember to go back and edit their backup list every time they create a new folder. Sure some extra stuff is going to get backed up, but the ease of use and peace of mind is worth it. We wanted a user to download and install the program and be backing up data in less than a minute. And that’s what we built". The best macOS backup software in the world.

You can see these exclusions by clicking on “Settings” in the app Control Panel and selecting the Exclusions tab. These exclusions can be removed! Some of these excluded files are:

• ISO (Disk Images)
• DMG (Mac Disk Image)
• VMC VHD VMSN (Virtual Drives)
• SYS (System Configuration & Drivers)
• EXE (Application Files)

Backblaze for Mac will keep versions of a file that changes for up to 30 days. However, It is not designed as an additional storage system when you run out of space. It mirrors your drive. If you delete your data, it will be deleted from the tool after 30 days. The app also doesn't backup backups like Time Machine and Retrospect RDB. Your external hard drives need to be connected to your computer and scanned by Back blaze at least once every 30 days in order to keep them backed up.
