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.

Words of wisdom after seeing so many horror stories and also witnessing some too. And no, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc, most mainstream companies are not reliable. A lot of artists found their acc shut down because they had broken the TOS.

@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.

@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
my machine when it's so similar to crontab and rsync?
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
