Backblaze DOES support Linux through the B2 product line and third party applications. There is a list of applications that support Linux here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html (scroll down and look for pictures of Penguins).
Supported applications include Dupicity which ships inside of several Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian. So you may already have your local client application pre-installed on your linux computer ready to backup to Backblaze!
- Ajedi32 9y agoRight, I meant Linux with the Backblaze personal service, since that's what the GP was referring to: > I've heard stories of people using Amazon to store over 1PB of data which would be thousands of dollars monthly even at Glacial cost. Do the "ultra" users weigh down on your margins? (Obviously with a price that scales with the amount of data stored, "ultra" users wouldn't be a problem on B2.)
- pnutjam 9y agoIt sounds like BackBlaze requires you to have local copies of the data, which would stop most people from storing a PB.
