Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong> On March 3, 2022, Backblaze ended the USB flash drive restore option. While we parted ways with USB flash drives, we continue to offer many options for restoring your files\u2014explore ways to recover your data here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

For all our talk about online backup<\/a>, restoring data is what Backblaze is all about!<\/p>\n

“Backblaze saved the day for me\u2014not once, but twice, in less than six months. My computer did one of those spectacular crashes where it seems most of its insides get replaced and I needed my BB restore files. Five months later both my new hard drive and my external hard drive died and I needed those BB restore files again\u2026”\u2014Marla, a Backblaze Customer<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“It works! My iMac crashed and I had to purchase a new one. All of my digital negatives, .jpegs, and documents were restored from Backblaze and in no time at all, I was back in business. I have more confidence in Backblaze than I do in my external hard drive backup<\/a>…”\u2014Kathy, a Backblaze Customer<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2.5 Billion Memories Restored<\/h2>\n

Backblaze recently passed the 2.5 billion mark for the number of files our customers have restored. We say files, but our customers think of them as graduation photos, videos of their children, music, financial records, genealogy data, scrapbooking designs, etc. That\u2019s a lot of digital memories that have been returned home safe and sound to folks like Kathy and Marla. That\u2019s nice.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t quite comprehend what 2.5 billion looks like? If each file were an 8×10 photo, printed out they would cover nearly 32,000 acres or 12,900 hectares for folks outside the US and Canada. In either case, that\u2019s enough photos to cover the entire city of San Francisco or all of Walt Disney World in Florida, both of which are, coincidentally, the same size: 30,080 acres.<\/p>\n
