Shifting some files around, reading up on Backblaze cloud backup and
listening to the Lebanese Greg Lake, Issam Hajali.

I have Backblaze and it seems to be a very good deal from what I can see. 4 terabytes backed up, 11 to go. Six dollars a month. can't be bad.

Great! I might go for the yearly price ($60) and
possibly the extra amount where they keep your
stuff going back one year. I especially like that
you can get drives from them (the 8TB one!)
with your stuff if you ever want or need it.

Yeah that is handy, though I doubt I'd ever go for that, being over here in Ireland. So far their backup seems to deliver what it promises, though my own one has a while to go before it's completely backed up.

Well, that's the important part. I even checked their reddit forum last night to see if there were any pressing problems.
My main interest is in backing up all of this music. I should just go ahead and get my desktop all ready and just go for it January 1 -
otherwise I'll just analyze it to death and never do it. How about your speed? I know it all depends,
but are you getting something like a TB saved every day or two or slower/faster?

Trollheart · 12-26-2020, 07:41 PM

Ah no in fairness it's been a lot slower than that. I joined Dec 8 and so far have 4 tb uploaded. So that's, what, 1 tb every 5 days? My speed is around the 250 mb/s but that's download, and the upload is of course a lot slower, though usually I don't pay too much attention to it. Probably around 30? I don't necessarily mind the speed though: it'll take as long as it takes, and it doesn't seem to slow down the PC so I'm happy enough.
