#BackblazeB2

@boracle I’m still on Windows 10, but I’ll be switching to Debian soon.

I recently switched to Kopia because it’s cross-platform, and I’m backing up to B2 Backblaze, which costs $6 USD per TB per month.

So, backing up 0.5 TB means I only pay $3 per month.

Kopia offers fine-grained control over what and when you back up, and you can access your backup repository from anywhere.

❗ PSA: If you're using #BackblazeB2 cli for your backups ❗

In v3.18.0 (not even a major!) they switched all the camelCase flags to kebab-case. This means any command that still includes the camelCase flags will just fail with "unrecognized arguments".

So one of my servers has not been making backups since Mai of 2024. Fun! Glad I caught that before worse happened.

Ouch, I just went over my #BackblazeB2 Class B transaction cap…

Any #Synology fans out there? If so, I have a question for you all, I currently use Microsoft #OneDrive for #CloudSync in mine, I have less than 1 TB of data, it seems like cost is the same than #BackblazeB2 and #SynologyC2 but I get access to the rest of the office apps that I occasionally need. Am I missing something here?

Some time ago, I created a GitHub repo showing how to upload files from JS in the browser using the #BackblazeB2 Native API. I just updated the repo to show the same using S3 presigned URLs, with an explanation of the differences between the two: github.com/backblaze-b2-sample

Is it ironic that the first thing I added to my new #gitea instance using the #s3ql storage (to #BackblazeB2) #container was my #git #repository of the #docker #s3ql itself?

🤓🚨 16-hours after I reported the #BackBlaze US East outage/disruptions after thousands of S3 errors in SideKiq, Backblaze confirms there are ongoing issues. #MastoAdmin #BackblazeB2

Their status page is status.backblaze.com/

Current status for US East is, "Users may be encountering intermittent failures on uploads and downloads."

Not sure why he said EU Central...

I performed a MTR (Matt's (MY) Traceroute) on my Mastodon S3 storage ( s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com) , which is #BackBlaze #BackblazeB2

I used their ingress point for the test. ca005.backblaze.com resolves directly to their ingress points rather than the s3 url.

Any thoughts, #MastoAdmin #Network #IT on performance, etc. Any comments welcome. I am in a help ticket with one of their Technical Support Engineers.

I'm getting several 443 errors in my Sidekiq jobs, as well as other issues

Celebrating #WorldBackupDay by installing #s3ql on all my #Proxmox servers and having them back up all my stuff directly to #BackblazeB2 nightly

I’ll be co-presenting a webinar at 10am Pacific Time tomorrow with Ameya Pathare, CTO of Amplify (amplifydata.io/), looking at how they built their data distribution platform around #SnowflakeDB, and why they migrated their outbound file storage from Amazon S3 to #BackblazeB2.

If you can’t join us, register anyway, and we’ll send you a link to the recording.

Is #BackblazeB2 #backblaze having issues, or did I break something in my upgrade? #mastoadmin

Currently failing to load external media. Hm.

@brianleroux @macdonst Ah - my apologies! I got your “p99 problems” card, but I didn’t get your name. I grabbed aws-lite; I’m gonna see if I can point it at #BackblazeB2. Watch this space!

A question for all the other #mastoadmin folks out there: how often are you running cleanup jobs, and what specific tasks are you running? Now that I've moved everything to #BackblazeB2 I'm pretty sure I don't need to run them nightly anymore, but I wanted to know what the best practice is (beyond the two tasks the docs recommend to run weekly).
