Hey, I hope there is a BackBlaze person lurking the comments. I use BackBlaze to make sporadic, one time backups. I then disconnect everything - which is just 2 mirrored drives. These drives only contain important documents. Can BackBlaze please not delete my backups if my drives are not connected for X days, even though I pay for the backups? It is very confusing to me, and actually pretty damn frustrating. To be more clear, my backup solution is detailed here, where I recommend BackBlaze even: https://ecc-comp.blogspot.com/2020/07/backing-up-for-mortals.html https://ecc-comp.blogspot.com/2020/07/backing-up-for-mortals... Thanks!

I am not an user of this service, can backups be deleted due to inactivity? This sounds very confusing.

I'm an engineer at Backblaze. We do have extended version history that you can enable to have the files held for a longer time. https://www.backblaze.com/version-history.html https://www.backblaze.com/version-history.html

  But what if I don't care about any version history, and I just want a single snapshot held indefinitely? Should I instead go with a service like Google Drive?

Does the $2/month extra cost for "Forever Version History" add-on not solve your concern? https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035247494 https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035247494
