- lokl 6y agoThanks for sharing this.
- audience_mem 6y agoNo problem. I hate the thought of data loss. They may be better now, but who knows, it's worth being sure.
- bombcar 6y agoPeople think of backblaze as a backup/archive but it is explicitly not an archive - it is a backup and if you delete a file on your system it is purged within 30 days from the copy. Most people don’t really think about this and expect that any backup is AlSO an archive. You can get burned by this and have to use b2 or whatever it is instead.
- Dylan16807 6y agoWhat? That article is about how it utterly failed as a backup, with files that were still on drives or had just been on drives but couldn't be downloaded.
