Hey @backblaze @onedrive and @Dropbox have moved their files to ~Library on Mac & you can't back that up. For Dropbox I can use Maestral (thanks @siracusa), but Onedrive? Am I stuck with just TimeMachine running locally? Your support guy doesn't seem to understand the problem.

It's so amazing; in @backblaze's UI I can pinpoint to the hour when in January 2021 I managed to overwrite the correct version with the broken one somehow, and retrieve the correct one. Wow.

THANK YOU @backblaze for your "Forever Files" option. Miraculously, you'd backed up a version of my lecture slides for this morning that had long since been overwritten by a broken version. I thought I was going to have to recreate them manually!

In this issue:
• Use surveys sparingly
• Iterative strategy
• Stuff costs money
• The lone developer problem
• Using incidents to improve reliability
• Backblaze SSD stats
Plus the job board, and more!

@aomeitech And I'm partially to blame for even buying the software, because I could have just done a recover from Backblaze to the new drive and not have trusted this product. $40.00 down the tubes.

@i4o_dev @thelifeofrishi Cloudfront is very easy to get out of control
Backblaze + cloudflare is the cheapest combo out there cause you get 100% free down bandwidth, you only pay for storage which is like 5x cheaper than S3

@scottbuscemi @backblaze IDK too late now... battery died, went home and plugged in.
5h run time, but that could be from last night.
Battery graph is 100-35% in < 1hr. At the time I tweeted bzserv was still running battery was down to 35%. https://t.co/W49IeDyRFW

This support experience has not made me confident in your ability to troubleshoot an issue in a timely manner. If I end up canceling my personal contract, I will also start the process of canceling my work’s e2 contract and we will be moving our data to Backblaze B2.

@soloneer @backblaze Yeah that’s another problem. I’m currently using Dropbox as a secondary iCloud photo backup but it would be nice if backblaze offered an alternative so I wouldn’t have to pay $120 extra to Dropbox in addition to the $120 for iCloud and $70 for Backblaze on the desktop!

Mimi @mimirogers77
Reported 2023-02-17 17:06:39
@soloneer @backblaze Problem is my iCloud Photos are at 1.5TB but my Mac only has a 1TB drive. So not enough space to store originals and so backblaze doesn’t back them either.

@backblaze I found the problem. I had directions from an older help file from you that said it would pop up I put in the unlock code, and it would work. turns out, I needed to go get the wd security software. it is working fine now. smimle. I didn't know I needed that program.

@willsmith @bradshoemaker Gotcha thanks. I was looking at Backblaze B2 and for my current 30tb of stuff it'd be $150 a month which seemed like kind of a lot. But yeah I guess I could pare down what I consider important.

@WhatSoNot We use backblaze since 2014 when our first computer HD went down and had to pay $2,500 to recover it. Since then we’ve had two more computers fry on us and backblaze sends you out an external with all your data or u can download it back. All cloud backup.

Task Manager cowers behind a broken editor. I see the top line: Backblaze Transmitter.
Backups are good but why does it sink

Losing unsaved state is the risk, with this thing taking up 100% disk

@deanrockne @Arcane_Motion DAS setup I could see there being an issue for sure but if it’s just for archival purposes backing up to Backblaze would probably be better/cheaper in the long run. Being able to have 32tb of drives overnighted to me when my NAS died was a lifesaver lol
