Yev from Backblaze -> Customers/files are striped across multiple vaults for added security, so odds of all data from a single user going poof are fairly high and would most likely come from the datacenter falling in to a surprise

Yev from Backblaze here -> we're working on it!

Yev from Backblaze here -> we're working on the restore process. It can DEFINITELY be smoother, and we're hoping to address that in the near (hopefully) future! As for the tracking pixels, a lot of those aren't actually in

Yev from Backblaze here -> Yea, we hope they start doing more stuff like this too! More information = everyone wins!

Yev from Backblaze here -> Nice! Glad it's working for you :)

We're definitely looking at options like this, but the engineering work that it would take to implement solutions like that are not insignificant, and a lot of our engineering muscle has been working to roll out the Vaults over the pas

Yev from Backblaze here -> It's true, we just have the one. Backblaze was bootstrapped, so we cannot over-expand and maintain profitability, which allows us to stay in business. We're pretty up-front about having the one datace

All you can do is keep sending them these posts :)

Yev from Backblaze -> we are SO jazzed to write that one up soon. We're trying to find a good way to present it, otherwise it would have been included here, but that would have made for a very long read. Stay tuned!

Yev from Backblaze -> That meteor question comes up a lot ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... ). We currently do have one data center, but this design allows us to bring others online. If

Yev from Backblaze here -> We're VERY proud of our datacenter techs, and you'd hear more about them if they weren't so shy. It IS a monumental achievement though, considering that a few years ago we only had two guys runni

Yev from Backblaze here -> Fair point! Our costs keep decreasing as well -> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/150-petabytes-of-cloud-storag... and we're able to grow quickly ( https://www.backblaze.co

Yea, there are lots of ways to address it, and we talk about it every now and again though haven't come up with an elegant solution yet! One the first link it states that deleted files will be removed after 30 days. A removed hard driv

No, if your computer is offline, we keep data for 6 months, this is primarily for externals that are plugged in and out.

Don't you mean...ops? Hah...sorry puns :-/

You should be getting alerts whenever you're nearing a time lapse (up to two weeks ahead of one) so we do try to warn you when your nearing the 30 day timer (if not please contact support - seriously). The reason we have a 30 day timer

Weird how timing is everything, right?

Yev from Backblaze here -> When we first started producing the pods, we wanted to do two things: 1) provide unlimited backup 2) provide it for $5/month. We did the math at the time and found that for $5/month you'd be able

Yev from Backblaze here -> Not monthly, but we're hoping to do it quarterly though that may change. That's the plan for now though!

We got a B! That's above average! Totally not "terrible". Truth is the website and the service itself are fairly different, but I can tell you that we have a lot of folks using, lets say..."older", browsers that acc

Yev from Backblaze here -> I love advertising with John. He's used us before so he approaches every read with a bit of knowledge. At this point, I just give him a few bullets I want him to hit (often new things in the product) and j

Yev with Backblaze here -> I'm a bit late to this party, but I can tell you that advertising with John has worked for Backblaze from a monetary perspective. It's a mutually beneficial sponsorship. John's used us in the pas

Yev from Backblaze here -> Not a bad idea, though that might take a lot of work on our end. In the mean time, we're going to be releasing some raw data in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that!
