After signing up for the service and installing the client software, Backblaze will immediately start to backup your local files to its storage cloud, all automatically without any user intervention. (The automatic part is key – with this you will no longer discover at some point that you lost some critical files because you accidentally skipped a backup one week while you were rushing out of the office.)

Note: Remember, when planning your backup strategy, realize that certain files such as databases (Quickbooks, Peachtree, Microsoft Access, etc.) cannot be backed-up by simply copying the file, especially if they are in use. Make sure to follow the software vendor’s recommendations for backing up those files separately. If you want to play is safe, just contact Sapience and we’ll help you out.
