Backblaze Computer Backup for Business
Brian Long
Introduction
Your team’s work lives on their laptops and desktops: drawings, spreadsheets, client files, and the email attachments nobody saved anywhere else. Backblaze Computer Backup protects all of it automatically. Once it’s installed, it backs up everything your people create, continuously and with no size limit, so a stolen laptop, a dead drive, or a ransomware attack doesn’t mean lost work.
As a Backblaze MSP partner, Synapses Technologies deploys it to every computer, watches for machines that stop backing up, and handles restores when you need them.
- Unlimited backup per computer: No storage limits or overage fees, however much data a computer holds.
- Backs up user data by default: Documents, desktops, and other user-created files are included without choosing folders one by one.
- One-year version history: Restore a file as it was before it was overwritten, deleted, or encrypted by ransomware.
- Mac and Windows: Native apps for macOS and Windows.
- Legal Hold: Keep a departing or investigated user’s data beyond normal retention.
- Single sign-on: OpenID Connect SSO for access to backups.
- Granular permissions: Control who can restore and what they can see.
- Your own Backblaze Group: Each client’s computers are organized in their own Group, which we manage from our Backblaze partner console.
- Silent deployment: We install through our remote management tools, so there’s nothing for your staff to set up.
- Monitoring: We watch for computers that stop backing up and fix them before you need a restore.
- Restores on request: Single files through the web, full restores to a replacement computer, or a restore drive shipped from Backblaze for large recoveries.
- Offboarding: When someone leaves, their backup stays available for as long as you need it.
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Web restore | Individual files and folders, downloaded from any browser |
| Restore app | Larger restores directly to a computer |
| Restore in place | Putting files back where they came from after ransomware or accidental deletion |
| Shipped hard drive | Full-computer restores too large to download |
