Yev from Backblaze here -> We love creating these and it's a team effort internally which a bunch of departments like to help with. Also appreciate the kudos and we share it with the org as well. You keep reading it and we'll k

Yev here -> we work pretty well with Movebot ( 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:&

Yev from Backblaze here -> Thank you so much for sharing that story. I shared it internally - we love reading things like that, and I'm glad we could be there for you!

Yev from Backblaze here -> Wanted to touch on something you mentioned: if you don't have a lot of data, you might want to look into B2 Cloud Storage with one of the many backup integrations to back up your computer. It'll be $6

Yev from Backblaze here -> thanks for your perspective Mike! We do work hard on making sure the client stays speedy and system-efficient, so glad that's coming across! Re: the disc prices -> The cost per GB of storage has somewha

Yev from Backblaze here -> that's for the feedback on the UI - we are working with an in-house UX team to get our UI updated as an upcoming project! As for browsing tools, I personally like Cyberduck. If it's easy enough for me

Yev from Backblaze here -> we've had increases on the Computer Backup service in the past but this is the first one for B2 Cloud Storage since launching it in 2015, however we hope the added value for both outweighs in the increased

Yev from Backblaze here -> That's a factor of time and power! The 16TB drives consume more power so that's part of the calculation when we swap from the 4TBs, but we are monitoring them b/c we certainly want to avoid clust

That I can't say. Part of why we started doing this was so others could chime in and we could compare notes but that hasn't really been the case and they continue to be locked silos for the most part. Maybe one day!

Yev here -> Thanks!

Yev from Backblaze here -> that maintenance window doesn't shut down the B2 Service each Thursday for two hours. We have lots of companies like Kanopy and Cloudspot that use us as an origin store without issue!

Yev from Backblaze here -> we have more than two data center locations, but we do have two regions (US-West, which is spread out across California and Arizona and EU-Central which is in Amsterdam). Slight nuance, but very different!

Yev from Backblaze here chiming in -> the computer backup service is designed to be easy to use by the vast majority of folks, and in order to provide that service we have purpose-built restore servers that handle the recovery of data (h

You bet - we sent an email out recently, but haven't run auto-update yet - but that's coming!

Yev from Backblaze here -> are you using version 8.0? It should be a lot more efficient on your machine.

by atYevP 5y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> thank you! We didn't want to fill it with a bunch of fluff first and then give bad news. Went with the most pressing information up front since it's the most relevant, and then tucked the offer toward

Yev from Backblaze here -> We go into it a bit in the blog post, but over the last two years our average data stored for Computer Backup increased by 15% - it's not just a handful of people pulling the number forward. That plus the

Yev from Backblaze here -> absolutely, the blog post was mostly intended to dive into the "how" we came to some of our decisions, for those interested and having never gone through one of these before!

by atYevP 5y ago
Yev here -> It's actually changed over the years, but it's always been iterative and incremental changes - but that was one of the things we discussed!

by atYevP 5y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> Thanks! Yea, the conceptualization led to a lot of thinking internally about how we position ourselves and talk about our products as well, so the whole experience was very positive internally!

Yev from Backblaze here -> glad you like it! We hoped the post would be interesting to folks - a lot of times this just "gets done" but we like to talk about some of the decisions and how we got to them which hopefully provide

Yev from Backblaze here! We do it because it's interesting! Initially, since we're pretty transparent, we were hoping that others would join in the fun and share their stats so we'd know how our environment and hard drive sta
