![]() ![]() I don't know if the same data restore options exist for Backblaze Personal. The next shipping tier up is $550 + $3000 refundable, where they send you a NAS. If you do pick B2, try to keep your data in buckets no larger than 8TB each, just in case you need to request your data on a hard drive for $189. Haven't tested a big restore from backblaze (It's far from cheap to restore from b2.) but smaller 'test' restores have worked as expected for me. This is because crypt disables the hashing/upload validation and doesn't seem to encrypt filenames, it appears to obfuscate them instead (the last time I checked). I use gocryptfs (separate software) to encrypt files instead of rclone's crypt feature. ![]() You could use the s3 compatible API if you wanted to though. Rclone uses the native b2 api instead of the s3-compatible one, which adds a couple neat features like hashing prior to upload (for validating an upload - done automatically by default) and server side file comparison. I have a lot of questions, sorry if it has been asked somewhere Might consider the B2 storage in the future, $5/TB/Month to store and $10/TB to download doesn't sound too bad. Note: I am very cheap, so I don't think I'll be using the b2 storage for now. And thats how they keep the prices low, because most people wont have over 10s or 100s of tb of storage in their computer. Okay, so from what I understand so far is that the only "limit" for the Backblaze personal backup is my own total harddrives capacity because its basically a 1 to 1 clone on their server, so any modifications, deletions etc are also mirrored to the backup. What if i stop backing up to backblaze (remove the backup client) but keep paying the $6 monthly. If I just load it up with a bunch of harddrives (Including all my external harddrives) and then back the whole thing up to backblaze as an offsite backup will I get in trouble with them?Īlso with Backblaze do you also get a Google Drive style interface to upload, download and manage files, or is it limited to just backing up your harddrives and restoring them?Īnd last question out of curiosity, how does backblaze give unlimited storage for just $6/month?Įdit, more questions: I just read that if i delete a file from my harddrive it will also get deleted from the backup after 30days for the regular plan (which would make sense), is that correct?īackblaze says that it also backs up external drives, how does file deletion work on those? What if i delete the file on another computer? What if i back it up and never connect the drive to the computer ever again? What will happen if i replace a drive? (To upgrade or replace a broken drive) ![]() Here is what i was thinking i want to do: I have an old computer running Windows 10, and i use it as a NAS and as a self hosted media server. What are your experiences with it? Any limits, terms, or fine print that I should know before putting all my data on there? Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context.īackblaze personal backup is $6/month/computer and it looks like its completely unlimited, that just sounds too good to be true. On Fridays we'll allow posts that don't normally fit in the usual data-hoarding theme, including posts that would usually be removed by rule 4: “No memes or 'look at this '”
