\"Thank<\/p>\n

With the thanking season fast approaching, we wanted to take a moment and give thanks to all of our loyal fans, evangelists, customers, blog readers, employees, and everyone else that has helped us along the way! Backblaze is now more than five years old<\/a>, and we couldn\u2019t have done it without all of you. When we started our online backup company<\/a>, we knew we wanted to create a truly easy to use backup service<\/a>, but we never thought we\u2019d get as many loyal fans as we have now, so thank you. We will continue our tradition of being open, helpful, interesting, and most importantly we\u2019ll continue to back up and help you restore your data. As a way of saying thank you, we\u2019re giving away a few \u201cThank You\u201d mugs. You can enter the giveaway by going to our Facebook contest page<\/a> and telling us what you\u2019re thankful for (the contest ends on 11\/23\/2012 at 5:00PM PST). Have a safe and festive holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
