Jun 16, 2012 · Backblaze is easier to use and has unlimited storage but lacks disk imaging and zero-knowledge security (i.e., to recover data the user needs to send Backblaze their PEK); whereas iDrive is harder to setup and potentially more costly (no unlimited storage) but does include an unlimited number of devices (not a major issue for me), disk imaging ...

May 10, 2019 · The big issue, for me, is that Backblaze Unlimited Backup does not backup extended attributes. So when you come to restore files they will have lost their Finder tags along with some other, perhaps less critical, attributes. But do your own test. Better to use Arq and your choice of cloud storage (which can be Backblaze's B2 storage).

Jul 17, 2009 · Backblaze seems to be checking system resources and making a recommendation. In my case it recommends 6 threads: This message seems to say that Backblaze can saturate your internet connection, implying that there is no upload restrictions other than those imposed by your system hardware.

Jan 21, 2014 · I know this topic has several threads, most of which appear to be old, but if I am duplicating a new one, please let me know. I used to use Mozy when they were new, but I had a HD failure and when it came time to restore the backup, it was nearly impossible. Support LITERALLY forwarded my call...

May 30, 2024 · I use BackBlaze for backing up my Mac and it has worked well thus far. It would be a good move for your NAS. You also might want to look into getting another NAS to backup the other. I don’t use Backblaze for my Plex because I have 50+ TB.

Jul 22, 2002 · Backblaze reported all files were currently backed up so I set it for manual backup and clicked the pause button. It just hung there with the spinning pinwheel and this amount of memory usage. Finally killed it manually, which instantly released all that RAM.

Jun 16, 2012 · A brief update. I am continuing to dial in both Arq and IDrive but am leaning towards Arq although it is more work to setup than IDrive and possibly more expensive. The reason being that I feel that Arq has a more intuitive interface, provides me with more control / flexibility and the ability...

Feb 1, 2011 · Is anybody using any of these services (Backblaze vs Mozy vs Carbonite vs Jungle Disk)? How would you rate them and what are your experiences? Although I have a pretty solid backup solution at home, the thought of an online solution is comforting. I need to back-up a little over 1 terabyte of...

Jun 7, 2022 · I have about 32GB of data in my ~/Users folder, so 100GB on B2 give me backup versions going back about six months. I also like the using Arq gives me full control of encryption before the data leaves my computer. If you go to the Backblaze website and look in my Bucket, all you will see is a bunch of random folders full of gibberish encrypted ...

May 31, 2012 · I'm currently using Arq 7 for my online backups to Backblaze B2, however since migrating from my MacBook Pro to my Mac Studio I can't get the Arq backup to run without errors. I've gotten it down to a handful of errors, but they all seem to be the same kind. When trying to backup certain files...
