   Yev from Backblaze here -> Yes, unless the storage pod is in maintenance, it remains on so that backup and B2 data can be uploaded and accessed.

   Yev from Backblaze here -> Most of our purchasing is done through distributors. We'd love to buy direct at some point, but for now we have good manufacturer/distributor relationships! We're getting there though!

   Hey there! The business and consumer computer backup service have the same feature-set, so our business service would also not work with a NAS or Linux box. I'd recommend looking in to Backblaze B2. It'll be a bit more expensive a

   Yev from Backblaze here -> An influx of Computer Backup customers has certainly played a factor, but also Backblaze B2 is growing quickly!

   We've toyed with the idea, but honestly Google does a great job of making sure that its Apps are backed up, so while there's definitely a market, not sure we can spare the dev cycles to address it.

   We have a large swath of 8TB drives going in that are performing well for us!

    Only if they reach a price-point that we like! Right now we've been buying up a lot of Seagate drives because they work well and are at a pricing sweet-spot!

    I think the question was about our unlimited model, not data retention/versioning, though if it was you've got the right answer :D

    Hey there! Short answer is: No. Long answer is: It's a high-runner on our task list, no ETAs, but we're aware there's a need!

    Hey Zanedb! We don't have one of our roadmap, but we DO have a lot of B2 integrators that are actually quite simple to use, take a look at -> https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html (most of them are eit

    Thanks I'll take a look. Honest question, if you're not backing up more than 50GB of data, why not just use Backblaze B2 w/ another front-end GUI like ARQ or Cloudberry or Hashbackup? You'd be paying $0.25/month for

    We don't do account-wide deduplication, but we do deduplicate on the machine before backing up.

    Hey Colin -> I'll echo what Brian said below (he's our CTO though didn't identify himself, I'll shame him later). Our B2 service is designed for that. Adding NAS support to our computer backup service would skew the m

    There's currently redundancy inside of Backblaze datacenters with our Vaults architecture ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... ). Georedundancy is on the roadmap for Backblaze B2, but no

    Completely understand, and we do back up Drobos and external drive bays as well, but opening it up to NAS, Servers, and Linux would not work out well. That said we're constantly running modeling on it, but for now we send folks to Back

    Hey Matt! Doubtful. For our consumer backup service allowing servers, NAS boxes, or Linux would skew our unlimited model in an unfavorable direction. We've been sending folks over to our Backblaze B2 service (it's still relatively
