I've done borg for local backups for a while and figured I could just replace it with restic, then I discovered that restic doesn't do compression so I just pointed that at the borg repositories.
I'll probably use restic directly for things that don't benefit from compression and continue to use borg for things that do. I'm open to better options though, layering two tools that basically do the same thing seems like a bit of a hack job. I'd have to send him another hard drive, obviously. TedDoesntTalk 34 days ago root parent prev next [—]. Try backupsy. Good prices. Presumably because Backblaze's margins are far too low for Apple, so Apple would have to do "Backblaze, but overpriced", which could look bad - or be content with low margin.
I'm curious about Apple's cloud strategy. Granted, there are more Apple device customers than any other possible bucket, but is it enough to drive economies down to the point of competing on cloud pricing? And if not, then they're still stealing iDevice margin to price cloud competitively. More than Enough.
When you have 1 Billion iPhone customer who are also in the highest paying basket. As similarly shown in App Store market. The problem is Apple has always had an Asset Light strategy. Keeping many Datacenter of Storage running just isn't their thing. If one cloud provider becomes dominant, Apple loses. If Apple loses market share, they lose negotiation power, and Apple loses. I'm not saying it's a bad bet I'm sure Wall Street loves the resulting financials , but it does seem like a dangerous long term strategy, if cloud becomes more of product.
Apple has been basically funding Azure Expansion. Microsoft needed Apple to scale their Cloud business in a multi-year contract. I think for one reason or another politics, strategic, or technical they have avoided GCP. Apple also partner with other Cloud Services Provider in different Region. And they are doing exactly what you described as Multi Cloud. Even their CDN are split between Akamai, used to be Limestone and they switch to something else I cant remember and their own.
I would not be surprised if their next move is to fund Cloudflare R2 Storage services. Once it becomes mature enough.
It's an interesting turn. I think their plan is to just always make a little bit more from every hardware customer Plus, to make their hardware more attractive by having that service available. Storing backups is probably also quite cheap to do since the data would be infrequently accessed. Cheapo hard drives will be fine. If anything that would be a good reason for them to do it. Pretty bold to IPO with those kind of revenue s these days I guess the iron is hot though.
Not really. They'll likely get a better valuation from the public market than they would privately and the founders who have been waiting 10 years can take some money off of the table. Smart move IMO. This is really all there is to it. You don't actually have to build a business anymore to get rich. You just put together something that looks like one, pay yourself a handsome salary for 10 years, then cash out and retire to New Zealand. Sweet gig if you can get it.
What exactly about Backblaze is a "sweet gig if you can get it" Of course it's not. But given all that, it's a cakewalk. Car companies are going IPO without any product at all and no track record showing they can run a sustainable business. SPACs don't even have a business idea, and they trade above cash.
They literally sell the potential of possibly getting into some sort of business one day. Well, growth empirically beats all, won't it? What's even revenue to say in the face of growth. They could be profitable at the drop of a hat, they'd just have to slow down their growth.
This isn't rare for tech companies that IPO, in fact, these losses are rather modest for the level that they are operating at. I have not looked at the financials, but equity compensation to employees can often be vesting at a significant higher rate around the time of an IPO and push an otherwise profitable company into a short-term net loss.
Me too, but maybe their lack of profitability and my happiness is correlated. Capitalized expenses for growth? For those looking at the risks, it might sound a little pessimistic, however when compared against other 'emergent growth' S-1's we've seen this year, it appears to be an otherwise normal filing with the normal amount of CYA. I hope they do well, and I hope they don't change too much in the pursuit of a profit.
Not being profitable in the SaaS business is not necessarily the scarlet letter that it is in other fields, so I'm optimistic for their future. Also, congrats Backblaze! The next adventure begins :. I just can't find a better way to back up 80TB offsite with that value. Cases like these are why unlimited storage plans don't make sense Also it irks me that the personal backup plan forbids network drives [1]. It makes perfect sense because just like every other cloud company, they hook you pre-IPO.
Post IPO or buyout, with lots of customers dependent upon them, they can raise their prices to a bit above market price because their customers will resist moving. Think about it: if you have a backups stored with them via their proprietary backup client, you have to stick with them or lose all your backup revisions; there's no way to move revision history.
That's why they charged below their own rates, they knew people would be trapped. Backblaze backup plan pricing is about to skyrocket. Hamuko 34 days ago root parent next [—]. I think Backblaze only stores 30 days of revisions anyways, so to migrate you only have to maintain two backup service subscriptions for a month. And you might want to do that anyways since if you have a lot of data, it might be weeks before you get all of your backups on the second service.
They now have options to store 1 year or indefinitely for an extra charge. It makes more sense if you see it as lead generation, like the free plans for stuff like Slack or Notion. Some of those people will pick B2 or their group management platform if they do a startup and do well enough.
They probably spend less on data hoarders than similar-size companies spend on free plans. LMMojo 34 days ago root parent prev next [—]. And the additional benefit is that you've also implemented doing so. Windows Storage Spaces are handled by Backaze.
Granted I am only doing that with 2TB, which is a drop in the bucket these days. Are we sure that the proprietary desktop clients don't use convergent encryption allowing for deduplication , especially for media files? It's pretty difficult to build up 80TB of stuff that's not original data.
The easiest way to build up a large collection of files, especially one that is only worth it to back up if you can do so inexpensively, is downloading movies. I would guess this describes most people who store lots of data. Also, the lesser number of people storing large amounts of original data eg videographers probably create enough community goodwill to make up for the cost. AnonC 34 days ago parent prev next [—]. An opinion that may be contrary to some of the other replies here.
There is a commercial and capitalistic contract between Backblaze and you where it provides a service for a payment. Both ends are keeping up the deal.
Brian from Backblaze posted a graph for showing how much data customers were backing up. They made 27M gross profit in - You'll see how much value your revenue created shortly here : edit: lol 80TB - hopefully it's mostly torrents and porn and they can de-duplicate it on their end from all my torrents and porn already on there :D. HanaShiratori 34 days ago root parent next [—]. How does deduplication work on encrypted files though?
OnlyMortal 34 days ago root parent next [—]. S3 bucket encryption been an example. Source: I work in deduplication for a well known company. Not sure how the keys are generated I'm not a backblaze user but since one apparently has to use their software for backup jobs there might be chance that they also store the keys on their servers for this exact purpose This would definitely limit the inconvenience caused by personal users with huge amounts of data - like op with his 80 TB.
It would be very easy to test this by backing up a new Windows machine and monitoring outgoing network transfers. If you can backup an entire newly-installed Windows machine and don't see any significant transfers, it is being deduped. Hamuko 34 days ago root parent prev next [—]. Backblaze has options to supply your own key, but it's an optional feature.
People ask about numbers like this all the time on the subreddit, and their people always say it's allowed. The main point they bring up is B2 is better suited for large amounts of data.
They said somewhere it's also a marketing investment. If they have people saying "Yeah I backed up a TON of data and it's really unlimited" then more people feel comfortable and become paying customers. I can't find the link. What you should be more uncomfortable with is the fact that there's basically no way to exfiltrate that data in any cost-effective, practical manner and there's zero recourse if a backup storage company goes "oops" and loses all your data or one day decides to just close up shop.
I don't think backblaze has a chance at losing data, but I really use it as the last resort "oh shit" place. It's probably not very important 80 tb. It isn't, and the super important stuff is backed up a lot more times, a lot more ways.
Weird scenario where you have 80TB of data, but a tight budget to back it up. I guess it is some kind of hobby thing. What hobby has 80TB of data? Video editor keeping raw footage around? Or if they're on hn, maybe they're a data scientist who loves big datasets and cannot lie. Video editing. Amazon has also occasionally paused their rapid expansion for one quarter, just to prove that they can be profitable when they want to. Then, they continue spending all the money that comes in and more, to expand again.
If you think the money is well-spent big if , then being unprofitable might just mean you are spending now to be more profitable later because you can. The main issue is that if you haven't tried to be profitable, how do you know for sure you're spending the money wisely?
You didn't need financial filings to know it wasn't. Yeah, I am impressed that they let you steal the money. That is bad and you should feel bad. If something is being sold at a loss, why should the purchaser feel bad about it? Some 'personal unlimited' type plan is allowing this behavior and if the company is concerned with it they can change or terminate their product.
That means that every time I buy something and there's a profit marging someone is stealing from me. So for fun I decided to see how cheap you could actually do this in a reliable way.
As a public company there's no chance backblaze will let this dude keep ripping them off. Well they have other costs too. Good news for their pod suppliers. Are they still affiliated with 45drives? I was never clear on the history of the two companies. I tried Backblaze's backup plan. Their software is just not good, I would say it's even bad.
It just didn't work for me. Something poorly written that they just didn't bother to improve. I guess because most of their customers can't tell the difference anyway whether it's working or not. For a long time I have wanted to use one of these systems, but I would never upload anything to the cloud unless I encrypted it with an algorithm that I trust like GNU's gpg first.
Is there any application, preferably for Windows, that can handle this for me? Before trying to resolve this issue of Windows 10 File Explorer crashing, always remember to keep a backup of all files to prevent unexpected loss of data.
Hopefully you guys support our website even more. Unfortunately I did both upgrades at the same time. Choose this option if you want to install the beta version of Chrome Browser to test its functionality and performance in your environment.

Sadly, it doesn't take into account the vastly different costs of failure and success - in this case, failure means that you have to fail to reboot, boot into ramdisk, fsck, revert, reboot, repeat. Hence why I was wondering if there was some better way to tell.
Guess not, so I've got my work cut out for me. Which, of course, might be close to 1 in your case ;. I'm stuck on the command portion Anyways, I ran everything as instructed and it finished. At the end it said to connect to localhost, which I'm assuming is normal. Now what I'm stumped on is where or how do I enter these commands? I've even installed Putty to try and enter the command, but it says not found. I'm not too familiar with commands via SSH. So if you guys could help me out with that part I'd be so grateful.
I'd hate to restore my iPod and lose everything because my old computer crashed with all my music and etc. Thanks a lot if it works you guys are life savers! Also, my iPod just has the reload wheel at the bottom of the screen. Am I doing something wrong? Also, could that my battery is low be playing a factor into this? But now it's still stuck on the Apple logo with the reloading wheel right beneath it, not sure what to do now Hello, Firstly I would like to send out big thanks to msft.
This is the very definition of giving back. Wanted to let you know there are ppl out there that appreciate what you guys are doing here. Well I can now get access to MobileSubstrate directory, which is great.
However I was not able to execute the command to disable the individual. I tried renaming the the whole DynamicLibraries directory as reanimator had suggested, no joy, when I reboot still stuck on apple logo.
Is there other common problems that can cause "stuck on apple logo", other than the mobile substrate department? Any other thoughts as to what I could try, either regarding mobile substrate or other possible issues. I would really appreciate any help or perceptive anybody can offer. My phone has been out since before Christmas, just this past weekend I was again considering wiping it all and starting from scratch, an unpleasant solution to say the least.
That was before I discovered your new easier method which gave me new hope, I feel like I am so close. Cheers, TC of yourselves and thanks again. The problem I'm describing the Springboard crashing dylib issue is when you have just installed a new Cydia tweak, and upon respring, your phone just resprings in a loop endlessly never reaches Safe Mode. MobileSubstrate is designed to kick you into Safe Mode in this circumstance, but in rare instances it does not, rendering your phone useless.
This indicates there's a bad. One of the first indications of SpringBoard loading is if you hear the 'charging' sound when booting your phone while it's hooked to the charger or a computer.
If you never get a charging sound, SpringBoard isn't loading at all and. I have seen this with one person's phone once, and unfortunately there's nothing I could do to correct it besides a restore. It would be hard to determine what was causing that issue without having a Verbose Boot option enabled.
However, using msft. I recommend using my commands to mount using Putty, then using a visual tool like WinSCP to perform the rest. With either tool, you'll be connecting to localhost, port The long "for" command word-wrapped to the next line as expected, and the directory correction above will too.
Plzz help me reanimationxp.. I want to copy pics from my iphone.. Just tell me the commands plzzz.. Hi, please help i have successfully connected via SSH, however i can not see the folders where the pictures reside. When i click on the Var folder on the root, I can only see the following folders: db root tmp could someone tell me what i am doing wrong please Thanks SK.
Jester: 1. You can run another instance of itnl to forward port 2. Hello again, Thanks for your reply reanimator. I have been a little busy as of late. Well I have given up on being able to boot up my phone without restoring it, however I would like to back up everything first. Using reanimators comment I was able to get to the root directory and copied everything off, there were a few errors but I assume I know, a dangerous thing nothing too important was left out if anybody has a easy fix to copying everything let me know, I am all ears.
Using the instructions in the video msft. Is there a script? Where can it be found? Does it have anything to do with me using windows I have access to macs but they dont seem to want to run the. Might be important that I am on ios 4. Anyway, I am getting really tired of this dumb phone replacement and would like to restore today if at all possible, no pressure of course, I am grateful for any insight you can offer.
Cheers, Regards, Johann. This is necessary to delete the ssh ramdisk made with older versions of the jar that didn't have the mount script. I'd like to thank you immensely for what you have developed, it is astounding.
Not only that, it is also simple and straightforward for the less experienced users. By the way, this works for iPod Touch 4, 5. Was reading some ibooks when suddenly my 3Gs 32gb iOS4. It rebooted into recovery mode and I wasn't able to kick out of it using tools like iReb or TU. Then using your tool awesome!! Invalid sibling links Rebuilding Catalog b-tree Disk full error And still, "invalid argument" when trying to mount it normally.
Is this even possible? Thanks :. Biloky: Yeah, 'Disk full error' and MB free does sound like a weird combination. Alternatively, you can try restore and then copy stuff back file by file using rsync - just make sure not to overwrite the keybag since it's per install..
Mail database not decrypting correctly after restore - again, iphone-dataprotection might have some scripts to help mitigate that. At least most data files and jailbreak-made customizations will be preserved! Hello all, Sorry to those who have had trouble with my commands.
I found a couple bugs, sorry for any trouble that caused. I've corrected them below. If you are using this tool due to Springboard crashing on boot because of a MobileSubstrate plugin crashing so bad it won't kick into Safe Mode , these commands will disable all Mobile Substrate plugins dylibs and effectively manually kick your phone into Safe Mode. Run msft. Using Putty, connect to the address specified when the tool is done running. I believe the default is localhost port Follow the link to Pastie.
Commands to re-enable all MobileSubstrate plugins are there too. ReanimationXP: Awesome! Thanks so much the great tool. Worked flawlessly on an iPhone 3G 3. Got the holiday photos of my daughter, and my gym training notes. Screw you Apple! I have done this with a phone. First of all I want to thank you for this awesome tool. It can be used to every non-A5 devices, that's great. I ended up to this tool because I have a 1st gen iPod Touch that its stuck on recovery mode plug to iTunes.
I tried to restore it with iTunes in recovery mode and in dfu mode, with original and jailbroken firmwares pwnagetool but it gaves always errors. So looked for some info on recovery and found the ramdisk method wich I tried successfully in iphone 3g and 4 GSM hoping to boot something in the iPod touch, but no luck.
Your tool shows starting to upload ramdisk and 4 or 5 connections and disconnectios of the same iPod in DFU mode. I'm out of ideas. What else can I try? What else can I do? What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
