I have a brand new hard rive in my MacBook and now I'm trying to restore my saved data, files
From Back Blaze. They sent me the zip file and when I tried to open it this message came up
with this message: Unable to unarchive " named file.zip" into Downloads (error 1- operation permitted)
Please help as I really would like my data added again to my Mac. Thanks

I had this problem on my PC - you must use the backblaze downloader to unzip the file. It's available to download under "My Restores." Once you open it, instead of signing in to begin a download, click 'Unzip File' and choose the zip you already downloaded.
Hi,
You may want to download a thrid-party app to unzip your file. Mac OS X can't open every type of zip files. I personnally use the Unarchiver and I'm pretty happy about it. It can open a lot of types of files. Here is the direct download link: http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/TheUnarchiver2.7.1.zip.

Thanks for the tip.. I downloaded the Unarchiver and when I tried to open it
I received this message.. Could not extract the file " Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/SCInfo/SC
Infosidd" the archived file is corrupted. Do I need to contact back blaze? Very frustrating
Yes, please contact Back Blaze. The problem if from the ZIP file, not the software. Perhaps Back Blaze has a special software to open their ZIP files.

I am having the same problem. After Seagate HD replacement I have been trying for a week to unzip the file from Backblaze. Nothing works. I've tried the Backblaze downloader, Unarchiver, Stuffit and Archive Utility. Backblaze customer service keeps sending me the Backblaze downloader, and I keep telling them it doesn't work. Can't seem to find a live human to talk to there. Very frustrating. Any ideas? Help!!!
I zipped a folder on a mac, and tried to unzip it later. I could not. Fortunately, they were not crucial files. Unfortunately, any attempt to unzip failed. Conclusion: corrupt archive, there was no negative message upon zipping that folder.
