      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.

                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...

                        B2 isn't bad, though.

                          It is double the cost.

                          This is their own calculator. (https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html)

                            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.

                                          What about SpiderOak?
                                          https://spideroak.com/

                                          That supports Windows, Mac and Linux.

                                            First thing it says is "for your most important files" so fuck that. A backup is everything. not what your software thinks is important.

                                            Way more expensive.
