@backblaze ****o, is Backblaze under maintenance? The downloads from 'My Restores' refuse to start or they start and then gradually drop to zero speeds. Facing this issue since the past 2 hours. I've been downloading data since the past 3 days now. Have already raised a ticket.

600GB down on my new @backblaze subscription...1.1TB to go! Honestly really needed a solution like this in my life, backups are hard for me to wrap my head around with so much data all the time. I haven't had a hard drive fail in over 10 years so I just know the reaper is coming

@Backblaze how long between when a file is first backed up and when it appears in the online restore view? Maybe my appostrophe fix didn't work, I'm waiting for renamed directory to show up even though desktop client says it's done.

@MacManX Hmm the one benefit of BackBlaze is it's unlimited storage for a flat $7 a month. The only reason why I'm paying extra is I have almost 4 TB I need to pull back down and I was wondering if their extra-cost B2 cloud service would be faster.

@macromicropaleo @backblaze The repair person was surprised at the issue because there was "no water damage or anything". I take good care of my tech. Something's going around though - my mom's phone also failed last week, and at least two other people I know have had m***ive computer disasters this month.

@backblaze Does it figure out all the duplicates and then upload the new stuff or just go one at a time? The only thing I can think of is it just started with the new files and hasn't gotten down the list to the millions of duplicates. IDK. I didn't get more info from support.

@T_PandaDota Depends on the files and what access level you need. Dropbox is super nice with the desktop sync and the sharing of all types of content. Onedrive from Microsoft and backblaze are also good. Really comes down to the first 2 questions as to what is the right fit.

@museofdestiny It is good enough for *most* purposes. BUT what if the worst happens - your house burns down, gets wiped in flood storm, earthquake - where will those external drives be? Probably in your house. I suggest using iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, or Backblaze. Cloud storage

Question for @NVDASR and maybe @TSpivey @jcsteh and others. @Backblaze in its Windows app tends to use the Unicode character U+FB01 wherever the letters "fi" are needed. I've tried adding that to the symbol dictionary but the "fi" is separated as in fi rst backup. Is there a fix?

@backblaze I tried that initially, but it turns itself back on, like a ninja. Usually half way through a stream. 😁 The lower speed seems to work well. Would be great to have it pause (or slow down) based on OBS being open. I've mentioned that before, and think the idea got p***ed along 🤞

Not a great time to be Connor's wallet right now. It's that time of every 2 years where the Vegas Pro "buy now-get the next version" deal comes around, then Backblaze declares it needs a little more money once more, and now it's staring down indecision over a nice, big WD Black.

Is Backblaze down right now?
