We're trying to build a service that's more akin to Google Cloud Service and Amazon S3, not Nearline, IA, or Glacier. Those all have certain limitations (like time to access your data) that we are trying to avoid, which is why we

Interesting! Nathan knows his stuff, he'll get you sorted :)

Yev from Backblaze here -> Interesting. Any specific errors its throwing? You can ping our B2 team directly at -> https://help.backblaze.com/anonymous_requests/new (select B2 product) -> they'll help you

Yev from Backblaze here -> We're designing to have 8 "9's" of durability. Our speed tests have been pretty good thus far, but like with our online backup product it's best to just try it and see how quickly you c

If I understand what GET does, I believe you can use our download_file_by_id or _by_name to do that -> https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/b2_download_file_by_id.htm...

Yev from Backblaze -> B2 can be a bit cheaper because our service works a bit differently from S3. For example, uploading files doesn't require expensive load balancers in our data center. Instead, we require the dev to make 2 API c

Yev from Backblaze here -> Thanks! We hope to compete on not just price in the future, but it's not a bad foot to start off on :D

Yev from Backblaze here -> Thanks! We had a lot of interest during the closed beta, and so far things are looking pretty good! Just gotta keep it rolling ;-)

Yev from Backblaze here -> We read everything. Already have some integrations working, keep an eye on -> https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/integrations.html and https://github.com/backblaze

Yev from Backblaze here -> We don't throttle on our end, though ISPs and distance to datacenter can affect how quickly the data will get there.

Hi! No, I use a program for that, it's actually kinda cool, though I don't get "alerts" I just monitor it. It's mention.net. Highly recommend it if you have a lot of internet chatter you want to stay ahead of. Funny

As much as I shudder saying it, Google+ has been pretty good at keeping all of my photos. Though I have them backed up from my Android device. Not sure how well it works when actively using it for photo storage.

Arq says they have no plans to do it in the near term at the moment, but hopefully once we open it to the public they'll want to integrate. Worst case, if we make a bajillion dollars, we'll hire some more devs to whip something to

Yev from Backblaze -> Not naive! You could definitely reconfigure the design to hold SSDs, but that would add cost, which is something we're really concerned about. But the short answer is yes, you can use SSDs, though it increases

Backblaze B2 will have that, we'll have spending thresholds in place.

Well, at least in the States it's gotten pretty close to those levels if not gone down to slightly below them. Not sure where that relates to the Aussie dollar though :-(

by atYevP 11y ago
The most important thing for us is Cost per GB. Right now the 4TB drives we're using are still much cheaper than the 8TBs, so we go with the 4s, but the Pods work with 8TBs if you want to drop the dough on them!

With Backblaze B2 you'll be able to do it yourself -> www.backblaze.com/b2 ;-)

We're treating them like two different products, so no integration yet, but if we see that a sizeable of folks would want to do both or transfer their data over, we might go down that path.

by atYevP 11y ago
We're sort of doing that with B2, read more about it: www.backblaze.com/b2 :D

Hey! Yev from Backblaze here -> If you're still reading the thread, sorry things ended up getting a bit heated in the comments here. We like Dropbox! Our hope is that more and more companies will realize that it's a lot more en

I know, just funnin' :) We're taking a look at it and will update the post/docs accordingly once we figure out which license means less work for us :)

Yev from Backblaze -> We're working on it, in a fashion. With Backblaze B2 you'll be able to push from a Linux machine using CLIs/APIs and get those computers backed up as well! Slightly different, but it's the best w
