Yikes, what? We all run Lion here at Backblaze and it works flawlessly for us, and our internal stats show THOUSANDS of Lion customers happily backing up. If you can provide more details of your setup we would LOVE to fix that for you. Since Mac customers make up more than half our customer base, we're completely, 100 percent dedicated to Lion. Send us info or contact us at our company name at twitter or facebook or use the help links off the homepage. As a side note -> Backblaze only does one thing -> HTTPS POST. In user space. We do NOT extend the kernel, we do not have drivers (at all), we simply read files (we don't even write to your files), compress and encrypt them in RAM, and push them through the completely common HTTPS. It is unusual for Backblaze to cause any problems except a sluggish network or a hiccup in a skype phone call.

Hi Brian! I sent an email to sales support explaining my issue on OS X Lion when I was trialing your product, but did not get a response. Please feel free to contact me at mqudsi@neosmart.net. What I was seeing seemed to be that the software was flooding the network card (wi-fi on a slow WiMax connection) with requests, causing it to timeout entirely such that I could not even ping my router. This doesn't require drivers, kexts, or anything and can be replicated in user mode. It's pretty much akin to DDOSing your own connection. While I ended up purchasing a Mozy home license for a year, I do not think I'll be staying with them as I am not satisfied with either their client or their backend.
