Online Backup for Mac via Buffalo: Protect Your Digital Life
Online backup for Mac via Buffalo gives you unlimited, automatic cloud backup for your Mac. Set it once and never worry about losing photos, documents, or memories again.
Backblaze was created by engineers who couldn’t get their non-technical friends and family to back up their computers. Every backup program was too complicated, asked too many questions, or required constant maintenance. So they built something different: a backup system that just works.
Why Backblaze Was Created
The Backblaze team includes former Apple engineers who know how to build great Mac software. They were frustrated watching friends and family lose irreplaceable photos, documents, and memories because backup software was too complicated.
Every time they recommended backup software, it ended in failure. The programs asked questions like “Select your photo directory”—but most people don’t know where iMovie keeps projects or where Mail stores messages. Users had to remember to update their backup selections every time they created a new folder.
So they took a different approach: back up everything, automatically, without asking questions. Sure, some extra files get backed up, but the peace of mind is worth it. You’ll never lose photos because you forgot to add a folder to your backup list.
What Makes Backblaze Different
Traditional Backup Software
- Select which folders to back up
- Choose file types to include
- Set backup schedules
- Update selections when adding files
- Monitor backup status
- Manage storage limits
Backblaze
- Download and install
- Enter your email
- Done—everything backs up automatically
Backblaze finds your photos, music, documents, videos, projects, email—everything—and backs it up continuously. No thinking required.
Designed Not to Slow You Down
Nobody likes software that makes their computer crawl. The Backblaze engineers obsessed over performance optimization:
- Reads data efficiently — processes files once and intelligently
- Scans slowly — spreads disk scanning over time to avoid performance hits
- Waits to start — delays a few minutes after startup so your Mac boots fast
- Uses minimal resources — less than 1% CPU and memory on average
The result? You won’t even know it’s running. But your files will always be protected.
Perfect Partner for Time Machine
