Related: who has takes (hot or otherwise) on Backblaze?

I have an always-on PC w/ several terabytes of media (photos, digitized home movies, etc.) and archived projects, looking for encrypted, off-site backups. Hot storage not required, but storage needs to be reliable.

@stevegrunwell been using it to complement MacOS Time Machine. Have tested restoring from the backups — worked fine for me

@grmpyprogrammer the ol’ “back up to a local Time Machine drive that just so happens to be mounted on the media server” approach, or BB+Time Machine for a single computer?

I’d love to add another big-ass drive to the tower to use as a target for device backups, but I’m concerned about pushing my luck.

@stevegrunwell Personal laptop - Time Machine backs up to a Synology NAS and BB is pure across-the-net backup

@grmpyprogrammer got it, thanks!
