@MayaPosch MacBook Pro and isn’t an issue to me. People should be backing up there computers these days. Services like backblaze are like 5 bucks a month

Anyone using @backblaze here? I've had a subscription for the last 2 years. Today I deleted my whole Downloads folder by mistake and needed to restore it. 50Gb of data.
Started the download to my Desktop, and near the end. Crash. And now this! I won't be renewing! https://t.co/VjtVl5MGVc

@backblaze On Big Sur, Backblaze is only backing up my Macintosh HD, I don’t have an option to backup Macintosh HD - Data. How do I fix this?

@ImaginaryBros @AlfiePrenderga1 @garethlpowell I do, I do. My work lives in Dropbox to sync between devices, Scrivener drops backups (project zips) into a iCloud shared volume… which is also streamed to a BackBlaze archive. A lifetime ago I lost a novel to a HDD crash, so the excessive caution is justified 😂

@hi_pat_trick @SpyHI @skhmt_ Yeah, I definitely have some data on the RAID that is only there since the original drives died, and BackBlaze doesn’t do the RAID. If I do another hard backup I could probably just do RAW photos and video only, that should cut down on the space needed.

Hard disks are not only getting bigger and cheaper, they're also getting better. Compare Backblaze's quarterly reports from only six years ago [1] to 2020 data [2]

Hey @backblaze are you having problems with access to B2 via the API today? I’m using @goodsync for WD to synchronise part of my NAS to a B2 bucket and getting a connection refused error today from @goodsync - not sure whether it’s an issue with your API or a problem with them.

@jeremycowart Pretty disappointed with Backblaze. I have multiple drives and you have to have ALL OF THEM plugged in ALL THE TIME to make it work. That’s terrible. Great for your HD on you machine, but let down on everything else.

Rclone & backblaze B2 deserve honourable mentions, too. A US-west backblaze account stores your data in 2 data centres up & down the west coast vs 1 in the EU if you choose that. Encrypt and ship and don't worry about the NSA/5-eyes and other corruption/spying efforts. Solid plan

It’s National Backup Day! Memories fade. Computers crash. Phones are stolen. I won’t even count the hard drives I’ve lost, but my data and my photography is safe with multiple backups and a cloud backup.
It’s not an ad, but check out Backblaze for cloud backup. https://t.co/Kgy8qkUOcE

@fayextaylor @oli_faulkner I've never had any problem with Backblaze. I don't think they care what your content is so long as you are not serving to customers on their platform (and it's legal, obviously). It isn't a substitute for having multiple copies yourself, but it is a good way to backup offsite.

@ToastMaster Use Backblaze both at work and personally. If you go down the NAS route (I'd recommend Synology) then it also has built-in support. Using their B2 storage you can store about 1.5TB for around £7 a month

@asmcbain @karpour @Lynntendo64 Keep in mind that Backblaze's model is VERY different to the general user model; their load generally involves a large sequence of writes followed by idle/archival and occasional reads. They also have duplication on top of that stack, so a downed array is less of a problem.

It seems @backblaze is very competent in creating cheap storage space, but is not at security of their users data. It looks like they took shortcuts in fixing a vulnerability while creating a way worse one. I would not trust my data with this company.

you did it the wrong way.
you introduced leaks, and where exposed.
this is not a bug but a broken by design/market security model : the right time to say sorry and review your practices.
