Backblaze allows up to 360 days or forever. Since Backblaze is a storage service and not a sync service, it is protected from ransomware in a way that sync services aren’t.ĭropbox version history maxes out at 180 days. Use the push command to push your updated risingcloud.yaml to your Task on Rising Cloud. Change the run command to: run: python3 main.py. We need to tell Rising Cloud what to run when a new request comes in. Though I believe this plan would only work if I select “download originals to this mac” in Apple Photos, otherwise Backblaze will be duplicating a low res thumbnail. daemons: - python3 -m flask -app serve run. So if I delete a photo in iCloud I’ll have a second copy in Backblaze. This won’t apply to Google Drive since I don’t think Backblaze can pull from Google Drive?ĭropbox has version history but iCloud does not. I will have a duplicate copy of what is in Dropbox or iCloud in Backblaze.

It’s a second backup in case Dropbox or iCloud service goes under. I have migrated everything into Dropbox with the exception of photos (which are in iCloud) and google docs/sheets (which are in Google Drive).Ĭan anyone make a case for me still keeping Backblaze on top of Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive? I see the following reasons: I’m now wondering if I still need Backblaze. But I wasn’t, hence my reason for getting Backblaze as a “catch all insurance” for covering everything I forgot to put in Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive. If I was more organized I would have just had all files inside Dropbox. I was not organized at the time so I had important files both in Dropbox and outside of Dropbox. My original reason for buying Backblaze was that it backed up my entire computer. I currently have Dropbox Plus, iCloud, Google Drive, Backblaze. I’m a fan of Backblaze, but wondering if I can still justify keeping it.
