@dracan I'm using SmugMug. My backups are all on Backblaze, but after I "fix" my photos in Photoshop I publish them to different galleries in SmugMug.

@jeffdafo @dannydiekroeger No, 4mb today is different than 4mb in the future with exponentially decreasing costs.
We are almost down to $0.01 per GB. It will continue to get cheaper

@backblaze Trying to report a phishing URL hosted on Backblaze... The email is bouncing "because its content presents a potential security issue." ... Duh. How do I report a phishing URL?

@RohaanOfficial @goodboimusic @backblaze Apparently, the issue for me the past 24 hours or so was related to a major system-wide maintenance. Resolved now. I did reach out to @backblaze customer support and they were helpful and responsive.

@backblaze Thanks. Maintanance won't begin until tomorrow? Also "within the maintenance window, some customers may experience interruptions of five to 15 minutes" -- this has been going on for me since early today, 10 hrs and counting. Certain this is the issue for my account? Thanks again.

love it when @backblaze warns you that its product may not be working anymore, then redirects you to read about how to fix the problem, then asks you to log into Zendesk to try to access a private do***entation page https://t.co/sSIVdGnf6b

@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

@chef_boyarbeatz Holy **** what!? Wow dude is definitely broken and that’s so hard to see. Definitely donating whatever I can to help him get back on his feet.
This should also be a reminder to backup your ****ing hard drives off site. Use backblaze or keep a external in a safe deposit box.

It is so strange that the only switching problem I encounter when moving computers is @backblaze, where "inherit state" is more, if not as difficult as inheriting things.

@JumpJamLuvr @JamesHalcrow Fair, it’s a huge issue for me because of the file types I have to backup.
I have a @TrueNAS system running @OpenZFS & that backs up to @backblaze
Then I have other active files in Dropbox which back up to the NAS & then Backblaze.

Anyone out there any ideas.
I have an 8tb la cie external which is playing me up. sometimes it is recognised, sometimes not. Sometimes you can transfer to it, sometimes not. I get the parameters incorrect message. Today it isn't showing on backblaze even...

@cl***icallyabby Very easy if you have a cloud backup. If you don't, WHY??? Backblaze is $5/month.
Based on what you've said though, it sounds like your drive is external? Try a different cord first just in case, but if it won't come on, the problem is physical and you'll have to send it off.

I was finally able to figure out how to migrate content from my S3 bucket to Backblaze B2, but now I'm trying to shut down everything in AWS. I know it's an enterprise tool with near infinite applications, but this is way more complicated than it should be

@BudstuffClub @Redawna For domain names, namecheap or cloudflare register will get you down below $1/mo.
I've moved all my hosting to https://t.co/uCGFYXFbNF which fits 3 basic sites (any container you wish, just 256mb of RAM max) inside the free tier.
For ***et storage I'm using backblaze B2.

@DarlingAxe I use Scrivener which automatically makes a back up to the location of your designation. I also back up to a hard drive and back up the entirety of my hard drive on @backblaze. It’s a lot, I know, but I’m determined to never have another problem.

One issue that I'm having that I'd like to have a remote additional backup, but Backblaze I've been using strips data of MacOS metadata even if I use those a lot.
Code42 defaulted on me at the worst possible time hence not considering CrashPlan anymore.

@jasonandrade @backblaze Seagate is expecting to have 50TB HDD's by 2026 and 100TB HDD's in 2030. I don't think $0.001/GB is going to happen but storage will certainly be a lot cheaper.
The curve has obviously slowed but I think 50-100TB drives will ramp it down again. https://t.co/Dr7yg8qT64

@aussiewongm I was considering BackBlaze but I've got PlayBook to back up my design/photography work now so it's a lesser down problem now.
Though, having two hard drives is good (I do that now as standard).

@Naaackers I used to be a crash plan customer until they changed a few years ago, then I moved to idrive because of the price, but yikes to their system (duplicate my data and then say I am over the cap), so I am now retrying Backblaze. Currently backing up 5 TB.

Backblaze B2 is to slow a lot of the times and I have the suspicion that this leads to broken img links on my instance.
Maybe I can try out storj… let’s have a look into it before increasing the maintenance intensity 😵💫

Definitely starting to wind down the ol' Apple ecosystem here. Have migrated all photos to OneDrive, disabled iCloud completely and removed all photos from phone - starting from scratch. Syncing to Google Photos and to PC (which is then backed up to Backblaze).

The USB ports are a problem though because I backup my photos onto an external hard drive.
Backblaze will simply delete everything if it can't find the drive after 30 days.
