One terabyte of storage. That\u2019s a lot of photos. By their estimates over 500,000 of them, maybe even more, depending on the resolution and quality. We think this is great! Having your pictures in more than one spot is a great idea, and one that we whole-heartedly\u00a0recommend. That\u2019s why we started the Backblaze online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/cloud-storage\/solutions\/backup-and-archive\">backup service<\/a>, to make sure all of the photos, videos, documents, and memories\u00a0you&#8217;ve\u00a0accumulated along the way are backed up and ready for you, should anything happen to your computer.<\/p>\n<p>The Flickr news is great for folks that have a lot of pictures and want a place to store them, but what about the other data? You may not think about it too much, but the documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and videos\u00a0you&#8217;ve\u00a0accumulated throughout the years are just as important as the photos you\u2019ve taken. For that, we\u2019d like to recommend ourselves!<\/p>\n<p>What do we offer? Well Backblaze is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unlimited:<\/strong> We\u2019ll take all of your user generated data, no matter how much you have!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unthrottled:<\/strong> Have a great internet connection? Awesome! We won\u2019t hamper your upload speeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uncomplicated:<\/strong> Get started in under five minutes. Just create an account, download the trial, and go!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unexpensive:<\/strong> That\u2019s not a word, but for $5\/month per computer, we figured we could make it fit the \u201cun-scheme,\u201d plus that&#8217;s the most you can pay!<\/p>\n<p>Want to use Flickr, or a service like it, and Backblaze together? Fantastic! The more places you have your data, the better off you are in case of data loss on your machine. Plus, folks tend to upload less than 1% of all the photos they take to various services; we\u2019ll back up all of them!
