Yev from Backblaze here -> The .zip option is the fastest way for folks to get their data back quickly - it's downloaded over HTTPS and we have a Downloader (which can restart interrupted downloads [browsers can only do so much] if they are larger). Folks with A LOT of data to restore usually opt for a USB Flash Key or a USB Hard Drive restore - which is sent, encrypted, via FedEx. Usually that one is used for complete system failures or recoveries.
