BACKBLAZE BACKUP WILL TAKE 912 DAYS HOW TO

Pretty soon, someone from Backblaze, probably Brian, is going to come in here and tell you how Personal Backup is not for you, it's for NAIVE users who BARELY EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN ON THEIR COMPUTER. I can tell you from experience that you, like myself, and many other IT/software professionals who I've seen post in here with similar complaints about the limitations of Backblaze Personal Backup, are going to be disappointed. Really mate, i am telling you, you are not coming off good here even from this side of the pond. I am not defending shite, I am laughhing at you for acting liek shiet that is right on the website is somehow hidden because you did not bother to actually read what you were buying. I found this thread searching for solutions and your rant was linked in another sub ripping on you so i dropped in.

I dont even use the software cause I have a NAS and am too piss poor to afford even their good storage prices. Are the words terms and conditions are a new concept for you? Since forever when it comes to the internet mate. Since when does everything mean 'everything except this long list of things that aren't included in everything'? Then i am sure you would have no problem tellint everyone else the things that are not on the list. There are things that aren't on that list that I would want backed up that BB will not back up. It is just a bit silly to have to do that, not to mention wasteful of resources. Something simple using simple utilities, e.g., watchman and rsync, would probably work fine. Nevertheless, something similar to your suggestion would be workable, though clones / images aren't really what is desired. How many folks out there walk around with a conscious belief that their 'computer' (the thing backblaze claims to backup in an unlimited way) doesn't include their applications and operating system files? Probably only a few confused people.Ĭ drive? Nope, not using that OS. I can put whatever the heck I darn well want to in darned near any directory I want to. Furthermore, my OS itself doesn't really make the same distinctions between directories that backblaze does. To whit, I challenge you to find very much about my (operating) system (or yours) that isn't composed of files. Nowhere is there any distinction made between 'file backup' and 'system backup'. 'Backblaze will automatically back up all your files including documents, photos, music, movies, and more'

That said.From the main personal backup page on the backblaze site: I'd rather pay for a service that actually did what I wanted it to do without a lot of fuss. But if I wanted to be bothered with hacks and diy then I could probably get by with just watchman and git or something like that. I'm just annoyed that I can't actually use it to backup all of the files that are actually important and user specific without some sort of kludge. To be clear, I'm NOT asking for backblaze to backup my OS. Either add a means of explicitly including directories that are otherwise excluded by default.or give my money back and I'll stick with Arq for a backup frontend. Should the developers of those apps put them there? Nope, but they did.

And I know there are applications in my apps directory that contain user specific config files and license keys. I also know that the exclusions aren't limited to what is mentioned in that list. I know darned well there is stuff in these disallowed directories that I 100% want backed up. Across all user profiles on the computer, as soon as installed, with the exception of your operating system, applications, program files, or temporary files.' I'm a computer scientist. OK, so now that I'm in it I do find this from the help page, 'What does Backblaze Backup? All Your Data. Uhhh, sure, you actually want me to duplicate symlink all of the files that I want backed up that are natively in places that backblaze refuses to backup? Baloney. This isn't disclosed anywhere at all on the front pages that describe the product.

Just purchased backblaze 2 year license only to immediately discover that there are a whole host of directories that backblaze won't backup.
