Despite computer backup solutions having been available for decades, a Harris Interactive survey conducted on behalf of Backblaze released today finds 94% of people do not regularly backup (once a day or more). Reasons users often provide for not backing up include, "I don't have time," "It is too complicated," and "It is too expensive." Regardless of the cause--a computer virus, a hardware or software problem, or other malfunction--when data is lost, it is typically unrecoverable.

To address these concerns and help people backup, Backblaze makes backing up easy and affordable. Backblaze requires no configuration and no technical skills because it simply backs up all user data whenever they are online. For just $5 per month, users never need to worry about the safety of their data again.
