Yev from Backblaze here -> That's definitely not normal, how much data/files do you have (are you doing a .zip or a USB restore)? We're currently QAing a dramatic increase to the restores, but right now only available internally until we are confident in it. In the mean time though you can download mission-critical files in smaller-sized restored, that might help you get up and running faster while the mega-restore completes.

It’s nearly 500GB of data. Email me Hn <at> strapr.com if you want more details

    It's alot of data when the application is typically write-only, and throws little chunks of data all over the place!

Do you reckon the increase in restores has anything to do with APFS? I also lost my computer and Time Machine this week after upgrading to High Sierra, had to restore from backblaze. Btw, unlike parent comment, I had a great experience with the restore and couldn't be happier with the decision to go with backblaze.

  HE means they're QA testing a new method of restoring that will dramatically increase restore speed, not that there's a sudden uptick in restores. It's unclearly written, I had to read it twice before I got it.

    Sorry - yes, you're correct!
