@backblaze It's a DNS issue on your side, there is no global DNS entry for the server your software is sending me to. https://t.co/ojcvzqlIZr

Backblaze sent me a recovery drive for a HD of mine that died but there’s just one problem… it doesn’t have a volume. 🤦🏻♂️
(They use WD Security to encrypt the data, which is fine… if there was a volume written to the disk!!) https://t.co/BX4FU10n6c

@maryepworth It can be caddy work but sometimes instances in data recovery involve a drive strip down and moving the platters into another unit (if it's mechanical). That's where it can get a bit squeaky on price. I might start using Backblaze, I have a NAS already but I'm paranoid.

@minisciencegirl @szetoinsitu @richabdill I'm not sure which is best (I was closest with Backblaze, per above), but point being this is probably a problem not just limited to bioinformatics.
I'd suggest first thinking about what requirements you have that differ from photographers, videographers, other academics 3/

@kiers @backblaze Ah yeah. I'm kicking myself for going back to windows. They don't have any back up options built in annoyingly.
Can't really tell on the cable. It can be fine for hours and then just crash. Endlessly frustrating.

@kiers @backblaze Perfect cheers. Will have a look at this blue screen of death issue, change the cable and then decide.

@kiers @backblaze Not sure which message is next but since my drives are always connected, that should negate that issue.

Reported 2022-06-26 09:50:09
@dgregoryphotos @backblaze Hmm - possibly, or could just be the cable? Have you tried swapping those over and seeing if the problem moves to the other drive?
Kieran Metcalfe @kiers
Reported 2022-06-26 05:00:08
@dgregoryphotos @backblaze Yeah, the initial backup on backblaze does take weeks, although a lot can be down to ISP throttling - I had about 6tb to upload... Lots of overnight running....

PLEASE everyone back up your files. It's so easy.
Laptops get lost, broken, or corrupted all the time.
Use Backblaze, or Carbonite, or iCloud, or Google Drive, or Onedrive. https://t.co/M4kinC7lMa

@backblaze upwards of 10% of our EU stored objects have been unavailable for several hours now and we definitely aren't the only customer impacted.
Do you guys have monitoring / on call? This isn't the first time a significant issue has gone unnoticed until Pacific work hours

@backblaze we are getting 500 internal errors on some of our files. Not all files in the bucket are returning a 500, are you having an outage?? https://t.co/mGP2cjEiow

additionally, the outage also seems to have fried my external hard drive, that ALL my work files are saved to
so this is where i will remind y’all once again to back your stuff up, because losing **** is not an if but a WHEN
backblaze saves the day once again

Have SOMETHING that backs up your work daily. Time Machine. BackBlaze. Dropbox. Something!

@backblaze don't know what you've changed in your Mac client recently, but somehow transmitting a bit of data now requires huge amounts of CPU – this on a 2.9GHz i7. Can't work like this, I keep having to kill the process. Please fix it ASAP. https://t.co/LdYtuoa8x3

@TVPCyber_Fraud 3-2-1 backup plan:
3 copies
2 different formats, eg cloud and SSD/HDD
1 offsite @backblaze @SugarSync ur mums [Jottacloud/Crashplan NOT recommended b/c price gouging]
USB HDD drives are NOT a reliable backup, they tend to die due to heat stress from spinning up/down all the time.

@backblaze As you can probably tell by now, ****ing up my video game time by STEALING FOCUS and causing me to lose a multiplayer round when I was doing really well makes me very very angry. Fix your damned bug.

Reported 2022-06-11 19:33:41
@backblaze Your client software STEALING FOCUS is a bug regardless of whether location tracking is turned on or not.
Also going to a WEBSITE to change a feature in an APPLICATION is mental.
Fix the bug.

Ok backblaze.... love ya but having a different price for renewal vs new customer is a problem. Making me create a zendesk p***word to submit a ticket is also a problem.
The website throwing errors and crashing when I try to do it is another problem...

Not a good day with my 2011 Mac Mini (seems it's sulking during #WWDC22). First, its backup disk died: new disk ordered (I have @backblaze too). Then, @GitHub Desktop updated to a crashing state on recent-as-it-can-be High Sierra (thank you @sergiou87 for the fix in the beta). https://t.co/Sg0aT257cJ

@backblaze Web bug/annoyance: when restoring, I dig through folders then realize I need a different date. Changing the backup date resets the folder tree completely changing, even though the old tree is still valid. This means I have to dig down many levels again and again.

@daniellelucero_ I had a computer crash during my thesis and did lose data, and am now so paranoid about this happening again, I use Backblaze. It automatically mirrors my hard drive daily without me having to think about it, so no more stress for me at about $60/year!

@maguay @backblaze @Synology We've had no issues. My only complaint with @Synology is a software related issue and is probably by design. I can't do a backup of all volumes with one connection and need to make one for each.

@David_Leavitt Yes. Once at the hands of those who hack with Black Hawks. According to BackBlaze, hard drives crash in 2 years from start of use. Now, I replace them every 2 years. No matter what.

Reported 2022-05-29 18:16:00
@troyhunt Have you tried a hybrid system where you retain 180 days on local and then put long term data on backblaze? The issue with having tons of local rust is that the old data is on drives that won’t necessarily last long enough for when you need a retrieval.

Explain this to me: I keep seeing people push for off-site, cloud backups with companies like Backblaze. My desktop alone has about 4TB of data on it, and I'm on the fastest Comcast plan I can get at my house in the Bay Area, with 800Mbit down, 16Mbit (2MB/s) up.

I need a crash course in LTO Tape Drive/Library storage...
Backblaze would hit me for $220 a month, not including recovery fees.
So the initial investment in an LTO drive and the tapes should pay itself off after 2.5ish years.

(I don't work for @backblaze, I don't get anything if y'all decide to use them, I'm just a (mostly) happy customer for the last decade or so, and they've repeatedly saved my bacon during that time. (seriously, though, @backblaze, fix your f---ing client UI))

There's companies other than @backblaze, but they're who I landed on, and despite their client having a whole host of user interface design issues that they seem completely unwilling to fix, still seems like the best choice -to me-.
