Feels like a good opportunity for someone to build the “do one thing and do it well” file storage on top of B2. Backblaze has a simple approach that stores 30% recovery data next to the files (and self-heals) while also storing customer data in multiple offsite locations.
Build the ability for integrations (with customer-visible audit logs), inter-user sharing, and proper permissions and you have the modern equivalent of the shared drive from the old days.
And don’t worry about quoting XKCD #927 at me. I know the realities of a project like this.
- pretext-1 3y agoI have a friend who lost data with Backblaze’s backup product. It can always happen. Don't trust a single provider or software. Backups should not be “integrated”, they should be as much apart as possible.
- joshspankit 3y agoI’m very interested in the “receipts” (meaning: the story and the paper trail to verify the story) if you’re able to share
- atYevP 3y agoYev here -> we work pretty well with Movebot (https://community.movebot.io/hc/en-us/articles/360001557095-Backblaze-B2-Migration https://community.movebot.io/hc/en-us/articles/360001557095-...) where you can set up a Gdrive to B2 sync/backup. And Rclone can do that as well (https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-integrate-rclone-with-backblaze-b2 https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-integrate-rclon...) so there's a few ways to do this.
