Backblaze - Who We Are & What We Do

[@paulargueta]

The hardest part about building a team in business is accepting that 1) some of your team members will leave, 2) some of your team members will take other team members with them, and 3) despite all this, you have to be willing to help them grow to their full potentially without being bitter or feeling scorned by the process. The only person you can control is YOU.

I use Backblaze since 2010! Amazing company providing Great Backup service! Thank you Backblaze! ❤

[@cachdoan]

This company saved some of the most important files I thought it would be lost forever. It works in the background and I am not even aware of it. I almost forgot I could retrieve those files with Backblaze.

[@PearceWeddingPhotography]

This video is fantastic. I love backblaze.

[@dduncan1977]

GREAT work!!!!

[@Battledongus]

Really nice video refreshing to see a company that gives a damn these days!

[@blazingphoenix1000]

I honestly had to refresh the site to make sure I was getting the right price I was amazed at how great it was!!!!!!!

[@MegaMoto85]

i have 30TB in backblaze and pay yearly, amazing product, amazing price..

[@loucipher7782]

i still dont get how they can offer 5$ a month during their start up for unlimited backup where everyone is dumping in 100TB into their system lol

[@time.window]

I read that about 85% of costumers don't even use 1TB

[@MegaMoto85]

@@time.windowalso, duplicate files arent stored twice, if they match a file on your system that is previously uploaded by another user it links the file so that it's not stored twice

I do wish you would have been there for me when I fell ill with Glioblastoma Stage 3 (brain cancer), and couldn't make a few payments (i was in the hospital with no access to my account/money/etc) and could not work to earn money. I came back home to find out all my backups had been discarded and could not be recovered. Gigs worth of my life's work, memories, and client data... GONE!

[@backblaze]

We're terribly sorry to hear that, and apologize for the loss.

[@odinsmeadhorn196]

Every bit of this rubbed me the right way.

That's very simple presentation and i like it, straight to the point.

[@JoePetriCoach]

Can you back up your external hard drive in addition to your primary computer hard drive???

[@so_tired_of_you_all]

Yes

[@g.o.r2023]

Your approach is the same as mine in my work.

[@BekoIQ]

My journey will start with B2 with more than 80TB soon

[@subhajitchatterjee9688]

So How is this Better or Different than services like One Drive from Microsoft ??? Any Idea ???

[@backblaze]

OneDrive is more of a cloud drive or sync solution! We wrote a blog post about the differences here -> www.backblaze.com/blog/sync-vs-backup-vs-storage/.

[@backblaze]

Ah - we define "Cloud" a set of someone else's computers or purpose built servers! You can read a bit more about that here -> www.backblaze.com/blog/what-is-cloud-computing/.

[@patrickd9551]

@@lll-Private-Info-III So a company that provides web based (storage) services is using a word that has been explicitly used by marketing departments to define web based (storage) services? By your definition everybody should stop using the word "cloud" altogether, as there is no actual "cloud"-thingie. It's ALWAYS a cluster of computers where the data ends up. Unless you know of a magic cloud that goes by another definition? Just because google and apple have a better marketing department, doesn't mean they have dibs on the word.

[@betterknownasjen]

Lovely!

[@Anthony-dj4nd]

Never heard of the cloud?

I was looking for a single token black person in this video and didn't see any. I'm sad. We need more black people in tech.

[@kjrehberg]

So weird it took you too long to recognize the importance of supporting the Amazon S3 protocol.

[@patrickd9551]

I actually think it so weird (and sad) that the entire world has based their requirements on a single API by a single company. But if your storage supplier happens to be Microsoft for example, you simply accept that they don't have native S3 support. Just use a proxy, right? The world is a bit backward if you ask me. Not to mention the laziness of modern day IT people that standardize on a single product/standard.

[@kjrehberg]

@@patrickd9551 You could say the same thing about Intel x86 processors. It's a standard, it's not efficient, it's not good, but it's the standard. So, we deal with it. The S3 standard is not efficient, it's not good, but it's the standard, so deal with it. Interesting you mentioned Microsoft. Azure has supported the S3 protocol since day one.

[@tennyson70]

To be honest the content of the video was great but the lame overused corporate background music made it feel much worse than it may actually be

That 1 dislike is a Linux user.

[@backblaze]

Lots of folks use B2 with their Linux set-up! :D

[@edocodIT]

@@backblaze Not unlimited.

[@davidg4512]

This has nothing to do Linux. A lot of Linux, freenas, and other such os users use backblaze.

[@Battledongus]

You could just use a virtual machine

There is nothing more disturbing that seeing the side of someone's head while they are talking. This is a horrible camera technique that should have never been started. Jump cuts are prefered.

[@davidjacke]

Backblaze has no customer support. You can chat with a bot that cannot help. What good is a backup company that will not backup their own technology with technical support when their product fails? I hope to get some sort of reply from the company. Maybe they will reply here with some generic post about emailing them and they will get back to a paying customer whenever it suites them. I'm going to find a different company since they have failed the primary reason you use a backup company: backup in the event that you need them. I can email anyone and they would be just as helpful as Backblaze. Complete failure on the part of Backblaze.

[@backblaze]

If you need support, please reach out to support here: help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/requests/new - that will directly open a ticket for you!

[@noupot]

Local backups are safer and cheaper...so Backblaze and co. are useless

[@backblaze]

We highly recommend a 3-2-1 backup strategy (www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/) and we're just one part of it, along with local backups!

[@vari3934]

Yeh, on youtube everyone saying the same shit, in reality that is different story...
