Backblaze is doing away with DVDs as an option for restoring files, replacing them with USB flash drives.
DVD restores used to be an option, at a cost of $99. This is now replaced by a 28 GB USB drive (that’s about 7 DVDs of space), at the same price.
Unlike DVDs, you can reuse the USB drive when you’re done restoring your files. In addition, even the most compact netbooks have a USB port, while they may not have a DVD drive.
Our Backblaze review will soon be updated to reflect this change.

There are dozens of online backup services out there, and it seems we hear of 1-2 new ones each week. While we’re working on bringing more of them onto this site, we keep finding many of these companies are nothing more than resellers of Livedrive.
Livedrive has a Reseller program which allows anyone with $60 to start their own online backup service. But as we’ve seen with Backify, things don’t always end well.
When we saw Mowbe (really? Mowbe? Moby? Mozy… I see what you did there) launch recently, we immediately checked out their website. Right away, we knew it was a Livedrive Reseller. How?
