The latest Backblaze<\/a> Computer Backup<\/a> enhancement centers around our free web restore process. Disaster recovery (when folks need to restore all of their data) is actually not the most common use of Backblaze restores. What\u2019s more common? Small downloads of just a couple of files. Folks often find themselves either saving over a document or forgetting something on a different computer. If it\u2019s backed up with Backblaze, getting that data back is a snap.<\/p>\n

To help with that, we\u2019ve made a small addition to the Backblaze Downloader\u2014we now allow you to select a restore that you would like to download. The way the Downloader worked previously was that it would start downloading<\/a> the most recent restore that you created. For folks with multiple restores that could become a slight hassle, so we wanted to make it a bit easier. Better yet, you can now have multiple Downloaders running simultaneously if you have the bandwidth to download multiple restores at once. If you’re curious about how to create a restore, check out our Restore FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nTo make it even easier to keep track of which restore you\u2019re looking for, we\u2019ve also added a Rename function on the My Restores page. This will allow you to keep better track of what exactly is in each of the restores that you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n
