When you get your new computer DO NOT install Backblaze on it right away. Once you get it running and have it connected to the Internet go to Backblaze and login to your account and do a restore. In this case choose to download it over the Internet. If it is large you can choose to do a Flash Drive or Hard Drive restore and then you can order your restore before actually getting your new computer. Before doing your restore you should check and make sure all of your files are there. They should be but always double check.

Once the restore has been downloaded onto your new computer (or copied from the flash drive or hard drive) you will want to check and make sure your files are all there and readable. If everything goes as it should you can move the files to where you want them.

At this point you can install Backblaze on your new computer and do what they call a “Transfer Backup State“. It will transfer the backup state from the old computer to the new one, so you do not have to upload all of the files again from the new computer.

If you have any doubts I would highly suggest you contact Backblaze support. They can help you in moving from the old machine to the new one. That is what they are there for.

It really is difficult to compare the two since they offer different ideas on how and what to backup. If you want really easy Backblaze. Want total control, CrashPlan. Depends on what kind of computer user you are I guess.

Hope it helps.

Not as complete but has some more information.

Memopal have acknowledged I am correct in what I have said, but have so far done nothing to fix it. I had to spend many hours and many emails proving what I knew was true. The just said it couldn’t be true. They now admit there is a problem but don’t seem concerned about fixing it.

I know it sounds crazy, so I even have videos of me using Memopal to prove it!
