BackBlaze has added a new 'Locate My Computer' feature to its unlimited online backup service.
Since launching the company, we have had a steady stream of people contacting our support team saying, "my computer was stolen - is there anything you can do to help?"
Today the company launched 'Locate My Computer' to let customers:
● Accurately locate their computer on a map
● Get the ISP their computer is accessing
● See the IP address it is using
● And easily view new files being backed up
Locate My Computer is available immediately and is free to all Backblaze customers. Mapping is enabled for new users; users with existing accounts can "Turn On" mapping. To turn mapping on or off, sign-in and visit the Locate My Computer page. (Please click "Check for Updates" from your menu icon to ensure you are using the latest version.)
The BackBlaze service itself is $5 per month per computer or $50 per year per computer for unlimited backup.
