I wish they support linux
- alexkus 14y agoEh? What makes you think it doesn't already?

- Shish2k 14y agoTheir website? "Backup Windows and Mac Backblaze backs up Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit, Windows 8 and Intel-based Mac OSX 10.5 and newer."
- heldrida 14y agoThey state they don't in the FAQ. What makes you think they do ?
- astrodust 14y agoThe pod itself does but the BackBlaze client software for the BackBlaze service does not.
- alexkus 14y agoSorry, yes, I was thinking about support in relation to the pod itself (the subject of this article) and not BackBlaze in general.

- rsync 14y agoIf only there was a unix-oriented backup provider with bulk pricing lower than S3, 12 years of history, and a public, aggressive stance on privacy and civil liberties. Oh, if only such a provider existed. (rsync.net)
- druiid 14y agoYeah, but your standard costs for not crazy huge amounts of data aren't as competitive as I've been able to find. We're storing on a competitor for about half what you guys charge and they provide rsync/ssh access.
- fr0sty 14y agoCare to name names? Inquiring minds, and all that...
- druiid 14y agoStrongspace at http://www.strongspace.com/ http://www.strongspace.com/ Interestingly they use ZFS on FreeBSD I believe.
- rsync 14y agoI wouldn't say this in most places, but always, always email us about your data sizes and needs. There's usually a way to make the pricing work if you are both: - technically competent - have smaller space needs
- mamcx 14y agoI'm building a service to be on top of rsync.net -so far-, and the only problem is the lack of a admin API to automate everything. In the plus side, the guys answer emails (faster and better than azure and s3, IMHO).
- dublinben 14y agoI'm pretty sure that Crashplan+ is the nearly same price, and they definitely support Linux.
