Hi everyone,

I’ve started pushing backups of media important to me (family pictures, video etc) to backblaze with client-side encryption.

However, are they a reliable storage provider? I can’t help but compare them to something like Amazon who likely has a better chance of maintaining my files but they are so expensive that I don’t even bother.

What do you think? Yes, I’ve heard of 3-2-1, however for now I only have backblaze and a local backup. I’m trying not to spend too much on this.

Thanks!

    I’m worried about reliability; what are the chances that they will lose my data? I have a local backup but I’m also feeling paranoid

      Bottom line, there’s always a possibility a cloud/service provider could lose you data. That chance is (/should be) exponentially smaller on their environments however than the likelihood of your own local stores.

      If you’re really serious about preserving your data, consider the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:

      3 copies of your data 2 different types of media 1 copy stored off-site
