Yes. Backblaze makes a copy locally of all files larger than 30 MBytes, broken into 10 MByte chunks. They’re stored on your “Temporary Scratch Disk” (which you can specify). One hint would be to put your temporary scratch disk on a fast SSD.
Personally I can get over 150 Mbits/sec upload, but I am on a PCIe SSD and have excellent latency to the datacenter. The worst case is a 5400 RPM drive powered only by USB, located in New Zealand. They would have trouble hitting even 20 Mbits/sec using the newest 6.0 client with the max of 30 threads.
- Arn_Thor 8y agoBecause Backblaze doesn't allow program files I'm forced to upload a backup image of my C drive, and since the scratch disk needs to be bigger than the biggest file.. I don't have an SSD big enough. But not to worry, I'll be up to speed in a few weeks
