The drive failure rate went up this quarter.
1.73% AFR, up from 1.24%. Here's the part that matters: almost all of it comes from drives 7+ years old or Seagate models with small populations — not from the 20TB+ generation now running most of our new deployments.
SF Tech Week. TechCrunch Disrupt. Two Afterburns. Backblaze + Flamethrower. A match made in data-storage heaven. 🔥
Two evenings of good food and conversation with founders, builders, investors, and partners. No panels or pitches, just people connecting.

Interesting people, good conversation, and appetizers. A pretty solid Tuesday night.

Either you know who owns every Mac in your fleet upfront, or you don't. Most teams end up with a mix: devices that came pre-assigned, and devices still waiting for a user.
That mix is where backup coverage breaks down.
Solution Engineers from Jamf and Backblaze walk through building a complete Mac protection strategy in our webinar. You'll see how Backblaze Computer Backup deploys through a Jamf policy like any other app, so backup follows the workflow your team already uses.
