imageBackblaze is making available an unlimited online backup service for Macs that automatically backs up all data for US$5 per month. Photos, music collections, home videos, web sites, graphic designs and more can be backed up.

Backblaze backs up all data, so you don’t have to decide which files and folders to back up. What’s more, all data is continuously backed up so you don’t have to remember to start back-ups. As files are added or changed, they’re automatically backed up over the Internet, automatically picking up from where they left off.

Data is secured using military‐grade encryption on the computer, sent over an encrypted connection, and stored encrypted. What’s more, users have the option to add their own encryption key.

Files can be browsed online and users can restore a single file, all files, or anything in between. Users can choose to download files to any computer or request a DVD or USB drive with their data be sent to them overnight.

Backblaze offers a free 15-day trial version. The service supports Intel-based Mac computers running Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. Backblaze is available in 11 languages.
