Articles like this one are the reason I went with backblaze over carbonite. It may not mean their tech is any better, but it does 1) increase my confidence in them and 2) teach me something interesting each time. Both of those are, in my book, good reasons for giving them my money.

And we love your money! Please tell more people to give us your money ;-) Seriously though, we're glad we can entertain you and help you back up. We figure being open about this stuff leads to awesome discussion and sometimes, like in the case of our storage pods, we learn a thing or two from the world at large! It's a win/win :)
I only wish you'd consider a (possible different-brand) spin-off that targeted server backup and/or power users :-)

Amazon could use some competition in this space, IMNHO.
