• What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?

  Dar is the only tool I know of that supports incremental backups to untrusted remote storage. All the remote sees are giant encrypted blobs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Uploading encrypted zfs volume to cloud

  DAR is a linux tool that does incremental updates after a snapshot: http://dar.linux.free.fr/. Source: about 1 year ago

• How many of you have used ‘tar’ for what it was actually made for?

  I have also used dar ( http://dar.linux.free.fr/ ) instead of tar for recent disk archives. Source: over 1 year ago

• Post your favorite programs

  Dar - Like tar, but can do incremental and differential backups with rsync-style binary diffs, only archiving what's changed (and without trusting mtimes like tar --newer does). Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is your preferred software to back up your data, and why?

  Write compressed, encrypted, sliced archives of the lvm snapshot to HDDs mounted via USB using dar Dar will pause to change HDD every few TiB. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is this red exclamation mark in my Mac preferences view?

  I've been seeing this red exclamation mark in my Backblaze preferences view on my Mac. When I click it, it only takes me to my account view on backblaze.com. Obviously, it's intended to indicate that something isn't right, but I get no information. I recently deleted my existing backup and am starting fresh with my personal machine and two external drives. I'm running 8.5.0.660 (20230127194041) on Ventura 13.1.1 (a). Source: about 1 year ago

• Unable to login

  What seems to be happening here is that the OP's ISP is blocking backblazeb2.com (where the API servers and all the files are), but allowing backblaze.com (where the login page is). Source: about 1 year ago

• Best Cloud Storage for 4 TB data (EU - IT) MAC

  For more than that or for more fractioned billing, I'd suggest using Backblaze (neat price comparison https://www.vmwareblog.org/looking-affordable-cloud-storage-aws-vs-azure-vs-backblaze-b2/). They charge for data retrievals like 2 cents per GB. Source: over 1 year ago

• Collaborative image-storage solution

  I was going to mention Backblaze or Wasabi first. Yet I can see that this is the question about both data organization and storage. Source: over 1 year ago

• Cheap SSDs from Aliexpress for long term storage of photos and videos?

  For redundancy, why don't you look at one more copy of your data or what you believe to be important in cloud? Wasabi or Backblaze look like perfect candidates to me. You could sync data to cloud and backup NAS with rclone. Yes, it looks like a deviation of 3-2-1 backup rule. Source: over 1 year ago
