Yev from Backblaze -> you're probably fine. Everything will fail eventually, just have a backup! We recommend Backblaze :P

- rdl 10y agoI wish you had a way to "seed" backups with removable media. I'm a backblaze user but initial backup (I have photo collections) is super slow. Probably not in your pricing model, though.
- atYevP 10y agoYea, that's a bit tough for us to do. We'd have to have a way to tie that to your account from inside our datacenter and that's a bit complicated. Plus we'd have to find a way to charge for that to make up for the additional labor. That might be something we consider for B2, but it's a tougher sell for our personal/business product.
- rdl 10y agoFor B2, making an open source version of the amazon data transfer appliance would be cool.
- oarsinsync 10y agoHaha thanks, but I have my backups already sorted (I bought more disks and put them in a different location)
- atYevP 10y agoWe applaud you :)
- throwanem 10y agoConsider additionally using RAID-1 to increase short-term stability with potentially untrustworthy drives. Not only do you not have to restore from backup as often, you get a nice read rate boost besides!
- oarsinsync 10y ago6 disk RAID6 sets with a hot spare per array. Adding additional disks to RAID1 each Seagate kinda defeats the point at this point unfortunately. That's an interesting idea in other circumstances, however. Thanks for sharing!
