- simonh 5y agoI don’t think it’s a matter of blocking, they’re just filtered by default. You can edit the filter list though so those files are backed up, and that’s what I do.
- jonpurdy 5y agoIf I had known about their filter list, I would've done exactly that. But their implication that everything was backed up from the beginning by default is what got me. ISO files are included in that filter list, among other files like VMs and such. Seems like a massive exclusion net to cast when claiming everything is backed up.
- tomc1985 5y agoBackblaze has a bunch of sheisty rules put in place because they're afraid of supporting data hoarders, and want to minimize the amount of space users take as part of their 'unlimited' plan, so I am not surprised.
- ehutch79 5y agoNothing is being blocked. They have a default exclusion list which works very well for the overwhelming majority of users. It prevents people spending forever backing up large downloads that they can just get newer versions of. Removing these exclusions is very easy and obvious.
