Always...though HackerNews has a horrendous system of notifying me when I'm mentioned (non) so sometimes I miss these :P

That's so weird! Sure, email salescontact @ backblaze and someone will get back to you!

Yev from Backblaze here -> good news! Backblaze B2 as a destination ;)

Yev from Backblaze here -> for us it depends, and I imagine the type of story would dictate it. For example, our Hard Drive Stats stories don't really belong in Inc. for example, (they'd be more "at home" in places li

Yev from Backblaze here - we definitely splatter the embargo dates/times all over every document/email that we send out. If one person breaks it, other writers get upset and that's not good for anyone. We've even placed

Yev from Backblaze here -> ProductHunt is also pretty popular for productivity apps and similar items, though backup may not necessarily fall in to the realm of things folks are used to seeing on those sites. (Edit - formatting)

Yev from Backblaze here -> Gleb (author) and I have both had that (writers missing our emails and then being shocked that they missed a story) and it really does make your heart sink a little bit. We've adjusted our pitch schedules

Also it's kind of a long post, maybe folks are reading it before commenting? The title doesn't really give too much away :D

Yev from Backblaze here - sometimes we jump-start the conversation by saying, "Hey, we're monitoring the thread if you want to chat." - but you beat me to it, I hadn't even noticed it was posted until I saw a tweet a few

I wonder if the support rep recommended Backblaze B2, but I have no idea :P

I wouldn't say that, it's just that I don't have a lot of data about this particular case to go on. In some cases if you overwrite our index files, you can get something that's known as a Safety Freeze. Again - I have no

Yev from Backblaze here - as far as the technical aspects, it's tough for me to say b/c I don't know what happened in this case, but we do have use-cases where we need to "Freeze" backups (more info: https:/&#

Yev from Backblaze here -> we did offer them a refund when they cancelled their account. In general we have a pretty generous refund policy for our yearly and bi-yearly plans, but giving refunds for the $5-rate, is a bit cumbersome.

Yev from Backblaze here -> we have customer for Backblaze Online Backup with over 40TB of data, and customers with 100s of TBs if not Petabytes on B2 Cloud Storage, so we can certainly handle it. Not sure what happened in this particular

Yev from Backblaze here -> we have customers with over 40TB of data on our backup service. We have NO idea what they're doing :P

Yev from Backblaze here -> Cloud Storage services are better suited for that much data. I wrote a post recently where I went in to the differences between Sync, Backup, and Storage as it relates to the cloud -> https://www.

Yev from Backblaze here -> the clickable links were an "own-goal" - we were moving pretty quickly and forgot to turn the defaults off in one of our email providers. Given the subject matter of the email, that was more than unfo

Yev from Backblaze here -> we've always tried to be pretty transparent with the way our system worked. For the vast majority of people in a crisis - they want speed and ease, which are the things we designed the backup service aroun

Yev from Backblaze here -> The .zip option is the fastest way for folks to get their data back quickly - it's downloaded over HTTPS and we have a Downloader (which can restart interrupted downloads [browsers can only do so much] if

Yev from Backblaze Here -> My #1 feature request would be notifications or something a-la reddit that would tell me if someone replied to me. Scrolling through these is tough!

Yev from Backblaze here -> thanks for purchasing! I think part of that is when I find places to run a Backblaze ad, I try to find a show-host who is willing to do the read themselves, try the product, and maybe share a personal story ins

Ah - that makes sense. Our devs are always looking at ways to make us more viable for folks - so they are aware :D

Yev from Backblaze here -> Glad you like it! I'll keep giving the writers compliments, they love those things :D
