They've said in the past that this is an important reason not to release a Linux client. Backblaze backup is meant for backups of personal computers, which generally have relatively limited storage themselves capacity. Add a linux client and many people will start running it on servers with many terabytes of drive capacity.
They have a page[1] on their website about NAS backup, and it points to B2 for a reason.

- Dylan16807 7y agoIt's an interesting thing to think about. In practice people with "a lot" of data tend to put it on a NAS. On the other hand that's only a single hard drive's worth of data. Somehow it's become almost weird to have even one big drive inside your computer. Even though an 8TB drive (the best price per byte) is only $150.
