          That's a lot of data! How long does that take to back up?

            Does BB have a referral program? I'm probably going to switch from CrashPlan to BB if I like it, and somebody here might as well benefit from it.

              I think that they might.

                  @reid-cooper my synology NAS is in local network with 1 Gbps link. so it is quite fast.

                    What about Linux users? BackBlaze does not offer their solution for Linux. You have to use B2 and that is not as affordable.

                      @scottalanmiller after trying, get to know they charge 5$ per computer license.
                      I thought they charge 5$ flat for 1 single account with any computer backup 🙂

                      still considered cheap...

                        @scottalanmiller How does they make money on such cheap pricing?
                        50$ / year and unlimited.

                        If everyone upload 10TB of data wont they loss money?

                        and T&C applies???

                        I only uploaded a couple Tb for example

                            B2 isn't bad, though.

                              It is double the cost.

                                I can get around it by backing up my Fedora Desktop to a NAS or USB and then running a Windows 10 VM on my desktop (I do already) and having BackBlaze there backup the USB or NAS.

                                But that is hacky.

                                  @jaredbusch Not only that, but if you need your data back, you have to pay for that too.

                                    As I have never needed to use it, I am not even worried about that cost.

                                    If it came to getting it back, I would be recovering from a total site loss and the expense is worth it.

                                      One thing to look at, too, is deleted file retention policies for these services.

                                      If that matters to you.

                                      I think BB is 30 days. CP is forever.

                                      That's not saying either is better, just something to consider.
