Tons of choices: Restic, Borg, Duplicity, Kopia Though Backblaze is pretty good at what it does and you can set your own encryption key, if that's the concern.

- aeries 3y agoUnfortunately Backblaze requires[1] you to provide them this private key to restore. [1] https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038171794-Why-does-Backblaze-need-my-private-encryption-key-to-restore- https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038171794-Wh...
- ecwilson 3y agoWhat does restore mean this context? I’ve downloaded files from their online portal without providing a key. Perhaps restoring in this context means having them mail you a hard drive.
- eli 3y agoReally? I thought the file metadata is encrypted so it needs the key to even identify what files are available to restore.
- eli 3y agoYeah I mean you gotta trust them on some level. Backblaze could also push a client update that nerfs the encryption. If you've got really sensitive data I'd probably pick something else.
- davrosthedalek 3y agoYou can always encrypt yourself and rclone to b2. Likely cheaper if you are not a data hoarder.
