I love B2's free ingress and egress when you use CloudFlare, they utterly destroy the competition on price.
But my true dream would be for backblaze to someday offer ZFS as a service.
I want to `zfs send -i my_pool@2020-03-11 | b2zfs recv some_bucket_id`, then be able to view my snapshots and files within in the backblaze web UI, and restore with `b2zfs send -i some_bucket_id/my_pool@2020-03-11 | zfs recv my_pool`.
You can already mount B2 as a FUSE filesystem with something like ExpanDrive, then write ZFS raw file vdevs to the B2 FUSE mount, but it's horrifically slow and probably too janky for any real use.
- ptomato 6y agorsync.net's zfs as a service is really great for that, though a bit more expensive than b2 is.
- bpye 6y agoRsync.net looks great but the storage cost is 5x B2 unfortunately EDIT: As mentioned below this is for the most expensive (lowest capacity) tier. I’d been comparing for my own home use and so I would be unlikely to exceed 10TB but if you’re looking at higher capacity then maybe the calculus is different.
- rsync 6y ago... for small quantities, yes. For large quantities, it is 3x, and actually less since there are no charges for ingress/egress. Further questions/comments over email, please, since this is BBs HN thread and I don't want to butt in.
- kgog 6y agomaybe you need borg with borgbase.
- mhio 6y agoWithout b2 adding anything zfs specific, that should be possible with a regular large file upload if you can deal with each upload part being buffered in a file/memory locally before upload.
