Do you want to lead product management for a set of products that have helped hundreds of thousands of customers in over 150 countries with their storage and backup needs; products people love and are often grateful for? Let’s chat.
Since 2008, we have offered unlimited Computer Backup for $5 per month. Today, we are announcing that our monthly plan will increase by one dollar, from $5 to $6. Other plans change similarly.
We hope that CrashPlan Home customers who are reaching the end of service on October 22 will consider adopting Backblaze for their backup service.
Today we are announcing that beginning immediately, Backblaze B2 customers will be able to download data stored in B2 to Cloudflare for zero transfer fees. This means that customers can save up to 75% on storage versus Amazon S3 to store their content in the cloud and deliver it worldwide.

Mozy, Amazon, and Microsoft offered, but later canceled, their unlimited offerings. Recently, CrashPlan for Home customers were notified that their service was being end-of-lifed. Then today we’ve heard that Carbonite is raising its backup prices.
