So then why doesn't Backblaze have a Linux client again and just have like a 1TB limit or something? I mean, CrashPlan has both a Linux client and has unlimited storage. The great thing about CrashPlan as well is that it can be ran in a Docker container and the data is versioned as well.
- Havoc 7y ago> just have like a 1TB limit or something? Marketing. You can quantify/understand 1TB limit. Grandma can't. That's what I meant by you want as few "except fors" on your unlimited claim as possible. The second you do a tiered by GB model you destroyed your company principle / core selling point - "don't worry".
- brianwski 7y agoDisclaimer: I work at Backblaze on the "Personal Backup" client. > So then why doesn't Backblaze have a Linux client There are several choices for Linux including: Duplicacy, Duplicati, GoodSync, HashBackup. All of those will backup your Linux data to the Backblaze datacenter. Is there some feature those are missing? Are those not good solutions for Linux? > again and just have like a 1TB limit I believe you can set a 1 TByte limit in all of the above, and then the cost will be a very reliable $5/month or less.
