BackBlaze loses 17 TB of data

>>61062550
and people call me paranoid idiot for not trusting some ominous company to keep my data safe

>redditor calling others idiots

lmao

The cloud is just someone else's computer... which is subject to someone else's mistakes.

>>61062550
windows users are niggers, that's why services like these exist: to provide convenience for idiots

linux users can do a deduplicated / encrypted / incremental cloud backup with one line of Bash

>>61062550
I don't see the problem. So his backup got fucked, and what's your point OP? It's a backup. See r/datahoarders are not idiots. They're well aware of the risks that cloud storage provides, that is why it didn't actually become a problem for him.

Never heard of BackBlaze, sounds like some meme company. In a commercial environment a company like AWS, Rackspace, Google and Microsoft etc. would be held to account by SLAs and legal agreements.

>cloud backup
But who hosts the servers? If you run your own, it's not what's being discussed.

Fucking. Moron.

>no refunds
I guess you can say the reddit user got blacked blazed.

>>61062550
Do you even remotely know anything about good backup practices?

You never trust ANYTHING with your data. The most simple rule is the 3 2 1 backup rule.

You have 3 backups total, 2 at your location and 1 off-site.
Why? Because everything can fuck up of course!

The 3 2 1 backup rule could fail of course but you can even add more points of redundancy to your backups. If 1 backup fails you always have 2 more points of restore and if 1 of the 2 also fails you you always have the last one.

Not that it would matter to you since you probably wouldn't even know if one of your backups has failed already seeing your incompetence.

>>61062607
normally I would say fuck off to reddit but /r/datahoarder and /r/homelab are far better than anything /g/ has to offer

>>61065468
Reddit in general is better than /g/ in general, which is sad.

>>61065111
Any reputable VPS/FTP/S3 provider in your country. You don't even have to care about NSA since there's duplicity with GPG.
No 'backup solution GUI' that ties you to provider X.

>>61065110
The only reason anyone knows about them is because of the hard drive "tests" that they occasionally post on their blog.

>>61065403
>1 off-site
Is this necessary?

>>61065605
If your house/office burns down, what happens, bucko?

>>61065605
Yes of course. Otherwise your data is 1 housefire, earthquake or tsunami away. It takes one thing to wipe out your house to get rid of all your data. And if you think that's not a scenario that will apply to you you can always take into account that there could be a power outage not shutting down all the different storage pools you have with the chance they could corrupt at the same time.

>>61062550
>8 months to upload 17 terabytes.

What the fuck. Get a better connection or don't bother with such massive amounts of data over the net.

>>61065605
For most of the shit people back up, no. For truly important data yes.

>>61065622
I would have bigger problems than some lost gpg keys, passwords, and media.
>>61065661
>And if you think that's not a scenario that will apply to you
Yes, you have a point in terms of ensuring data safety, but statistically, you're much likelier to die in a car accident, etc.

>>61065762
I'm not talking about how shit you are at driving

I'm only sharing one of the most important backup rules here

>>61065734
A quick calculation gave me 5Mbps upload. Jesus christ

>>61062550
what kind of person stores 17 terabytes of data?

>>61065837
The service probably throttles the upload too to prevent people from using what is advertised. I'm guessing this "unfortunate" accident was intended to have people like him move elsewhere.

You have to go back.

I've probably been on 4chan longer than you, cuck.

>>61065848
I'd have at least 30TB if my case supported that many drives. Do you even media?

>>61065950
wrong comment friend

>>61065504
all because we get faggots like you here

/g/ is filled with reddit but not just any reddit users, the most cancerous ones

>>61066021
Honestly all the reddit posters are better than the /a/ and /v/ retards. I'd gladly take people trying to make "clever" comments over idiots who think anything they disagree with is a troll.

>>61066021
except redditors are tolerable compared to the autistic cancer that is /jp/, the summerfags, and the underage /b/ /v/ and /pol/ posters

>>61065940
>cuck
Doubt it.

>Deduplication
A long history of misuse and devestation in it's wake...

>>61065762
Sure you'd have bigger things to worry about, but why add your data to that list?
