@netwars1984 @lukeburgis As a follow up, backblaze will keep everything backed up for 30 days so that in the event of a major point of failure (house burns down, hard drive crashes, etc.) you can get it all back for up to 30 days. They’ll even mail you a physical hard drive so you don’t have to …

@backblaze Some people just end up with bloated processes, others just have things break, but it's been like this a really long time, and I've yet to see anyone from Backblaze present the issue as anything other than a completely normal thing you have to do sometimes if you use Backblaze.

I find it amazing that @backblaze created a backup system where a required part of using it is periodically ****ing away your backup and uploading everything again from scratch.
But they did. And somehow don't see anything wrong with it, or best I can tell, plan to fix it.

@annamt1992 I also use Backblaze, which is $8 a month, to backup my main pc and external hard drives off-site. Saved my butt when my main computer died; once I had the new computer, I just downloaded all my backed up files (the external drives were unaffected by the crash). 2/2

Anyone else use Backblaze b2?
I've been using it happily for a while, but in the last week or so it's suddenly become a lot slower, and their tech support have no idea why. Is that just me?
And if I can't figure out what the problem is, are there good alternatives to it?

Encountering creative bug fix reports, or installation messages is always fun. This, I just found while re-installing Backblaze: "Keys to a happy life: Eat well. Exercise. And back up your computer."

@atpfm @siracusa Recent sponsor Backblaze has a minor-ish security issue in my opinion for shared Macs (and Windows PCs)... the bzdata folder under /Library is writable by everyone. Seems like an unprivileged user could hose your backups. Thoughts? https://t.co/c7N2WehdNw

Solid state external hard drive recommendations (with 5 TB-ish size option) for storing music / Rekordbox library? Backblaze has saved my *** a couple times this year but after another very poorly timed crash I think I need to invest in a SSD + another physical backup ASAP

@puckett101 @TrexPushups @MuseWendi I also use @backblaze (not sponsored), which is continual backup/storage of unlimited devices. If anything ever happens to your PC/laptop/phone, they send you an external hard drive w/ the whole shebang on it, so even if you nuke your device to fix it, you can fully restore it.

After a few years I am back to using @backblaze for off site backups of my #Mac after using Arq. Arq uses way too much space with snapshots and it’s a problem with my mini’s root disk which is a bit small. I must say that Backblaze seems even faster now than it already was

Ran into a big issue after upgrading to macOS Ventura: Backblaze app can’t backup external hard drives with exFAT system anymore. Also this backup has been removed from the cloud. Backblaze team is working on it. Spent y’day a few hours to backup this 2Tb drive to another drive🤞

@backblaze I am angry at you guys. I paid my renewal in August, and you forced me to use a new "trial" account which "expired" and it won't backup anymore. I should not spend 3-hours to fix a problem without getting customer support. I sent tWO emails. jochimvance@gmail.com.

So @backblaze not backing up ~/Library files is a bit of a problem if you're using #OneDrive or similar - cloudstore is in ~/Library/CloudStorage ... So Backblaze doesn't back them up from the look of it?
So here's me thinking hey, all my stuff is safely backed up!
It isn't.

@SwiftOnSecurity @onedrive @backblaze Problem is, OneDrive client for Windows is ****. They know it, support personnel knows it.
They're not doing anything about it - twice I got the "wait for the next release" line from support.

My only complaint is that @backblaze deletes copies of external HDDs if you don't plug them in at least once every 30 days, and charges extra to avoid that. Still, good enough for the worst-case where my apartment burns down or something.

On Thursday my laptop keyboard abruptly developed some kind of hardware problem, so I need to take it into a shop to be repaired.
But before I hand over my computer I want to back it up, so I got Backblaze.
A day and a half later, still waiting for the backup to finish 😮💨
