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.

@SuperCarneBoy It happened once before when the external I keep all my footage on got knocked down and since then I have been using BackBlaze because I simply refuse to have to rerecord things a third time

(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-.

Unsurprisingly, the service with a server within a few miles is much faster than the one overseas. 600mbps down/150mbps up for Backblaze B2, 850-900mbps down/~500mbps up for Wasabi.

@madmanweb I'm happy to report that I have a pretty decent 11+tb backed up on Backblaze. For me filesharing on Creative Cloud is just a convenient that can be easily offloaded to other services like One Drive (1tb?)/Google Drive (100gb). It's the libraries that are the issue.

@_arrus Had it happen multiple times, luckily I got a back up service after the first time(Backblaze is affordable, recently had an issue with them but I'd still recommend ), losing over a decade of my music work isn't an option. Hopefully you can recover it.

I accidentally wrecked the DB one time and pulled the backup - it didn’t work! I was glad I had two independent systems backing up. Problem with backups is they are rarely tested before crisis.

@backblaze I should point out that the app is sitting on the screen like it wants to sign in, but never does, and all the fields for editing credentials or anything like that are grayed out, so I can’t do anything with them. Very weird issue, don’t recall having this issue before.

@ryandonsullivan No, aside from noise. Speed probably isn't as much an issue for that purpose. For the same cost, you'll get a lot more storage (so more backup history). Remember, though, that is like 1 of 2 or 3 copies you should have of that data. I run Time Machine + Backblaze off-site. ...

@karenkho @jamesfraleigh Regular backups with Time Machine is an excellent tip, and I can also vouch for using a cloud-backup service too (just in case—science forbid—one’s house were to burn down). I’m a big fan of @backblaze for that. It’ll back up you data for $7/month—what a steal! (No affiliation.)

@joshkehn @backblaze I use Backblaze for offsite backup, but I want on-site backup, too. I view offsite backup as something like the house floods or burns down and my stuff is destroyed, so I don’t need to get up and running again fast because I’ve got bigger probs. On-site backup for fast access.

@superdaveghs @denvercoder @backblaze Admittedly Backblaze-like limits would be harder to implement for something like AWS; what are they going to do, shut down your EC2 if you hit your limit? Block network if you exceed the bandwidth-spending limit, so you can't even ssh to debug why there's so much traffic? Tricky

Nicolás Álvarez @nicolas09F9

Reported 2022-04-13 23:30:16

@superdaveghs @denvercoder @backblaze is the only one I have seen that does it right. If I set my limit to $2/day and I exceed it, the service stops working until midnight. If their system doesn't disable the service fast enough and I use more, that's their problem, and I still pay $2.

Really kind of sad to see @backblaze have such a lack of vision for monetizing and growing in the backup space. Their pitch to the market today is that they have differentiation on cloud storage over S3 while offering an S3 compatible storage, and they’re doubling down on it.

Is Backblaze down right now?
