Yev here -> saw my Yev-signal. That's right, Gleb actually answered that question on our blog ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-b2-s3-compatible-ap... ) but we're eating the cost. Om nom nom.

Yev here -> Double good news for you this morning: we're now signing BAAs for B2 Cloud Storage ;-) Just contact sales and they can get you sorted out!

Yev here -> Anyone can write to the B2 Native API or our S3 Compatible API, we have tons of integrations that do it, here's a list -> https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html

Yev here - it's interesting, we don't really chat about that often - what I would do is get the least expensive drive that has the most capacity and make sure the NAS is backed up somewhere in case of failure or theft. Personally

Yev here -> You're welcome! The conversation's always fun :D

Yev here -> This question's beyond me, lemme see if I can get a dev on the line :D *Edit - sounds like BBR is used in some of the environment!

Yev here -> great question! We are a bootstrapped company and we focus on inexpensive storage ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... ). Because we've built a robust system that doesn&#x

Yev here -> Thanks! Out of curiosity, does your school provide backup to all the students?

Is it a cool keyboard?

We do have a datacenter in the EU (Amsterdam) - and if you set up your account there you'll be able to transfer data to it. That's a popular destination for folks living closely to it, but even before that one went "live&quot

Yev from Backblaze here -> We're definitely more affordable and our integrations ( https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html ) make it easy to get your data to us. We even have partnerships with companies wh

No Linux client on the horizon - B2 is your way to go!

Yev here -> We love open source (our erasure coding, storage pods, other stuff is all out there) and after we got his email we did realized our error and wanted to make things right with Daniel and libcurl, it seemed like the fair thing
165.
by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here -> Gleb's email is above, but if you do already have some hardware from 45 Drives or FreeNAS - Backblaze B2 may already be integrated into them!

Yev here -> well that chart hasn't been updated in a while. For starters we're just $0.01/GB for downloads (we dropped the price last year). Our performance is generally pretty good, and we're partnered with cloudflar

by atYevP 7y ago
Good question and nope. They're simply too expensive for us. As they get lower in price they do become more interesting, but their $ to density is just nowhere near where we'd need it to be in order to continue providing our servi

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here -> we do have remote hands available in some cases, but we try to have our own teams in place where possible, but yes - it's one of the things we optimize on our end!
169.
by atYevP 7y ago
Sort of, but not really, we just wrote APIs that let people talk to our pods directly. You can read about our architecture here ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... ) and check out the APIs a

by atYevP 7y ago
Yea, that was a fun "should we do this" conversation around the office...
171.
by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here -> Yes, that's basically the trade-off for us. Is the drive available and reliable vs. how much does it cost. One of the reasons we have so many Seagate drives is because they are available in abundance, are affordable for

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here -> there's no minimum for our Groups feature (which Business Backup runs on) - so you can have Groups with 1 or 2 people in them, no minimum of 5.

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> Yea, the Toshiba drives are great! If the price was lower, they'd likely play a larger role in our hard drive mix!

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here from Backblaze -> the company started by providing unlimited online backup, and that's a great industry for us. About 4 years ago we released Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, which allows developers or sysadmins or enthusiasts t

Yev here -> There's no way to avoid drive failure. We circumvent drive failure issues by using our vault architecture ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... ). It's essentially lik

Yev here from Backblaze -> the Computer Backup service does not offer an unlimited Linux backup service. We do have support for Linux with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage and our integration partners ( https://www.backblaze.com&#x2F

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here from Backblaze -> Mainly it's the OS and log files - the reason we make a distinction is that the boot drives typically do not have as much load as the data drives, so it wouldn't be a real 1:1 comparison.

by atYevP 7y ago
Yev here from Backblaze -> The Western Digital drives that you've purchased will fail too. That's part of the whole point of these reports, all of the drives eventually fail out or reach a state where we have to replace them -

I think what's at play is definitions of Syncing, Archiving, and Storage (I wrote this up a while ago, but could use a refresh - https://www.backblaze.com/blog/sync-vs-backup-vs-storage/ ). It's important

You bet! These days are fun for me because I get to hang out on the internet all day and answer questions :)
