If I were to do what most web hosts do and offer a nightly snapshot for the last 30 days my storage usage would increase to 30TBs. Currently my customers are using around 1TB of data.
Why use B2 for restore in time?īackups can get really expensive fairly quickly. Adding a B2 specific restore in time feature has been discussed however it’s waiting for someone to actually work on adding the new functionality. While Rclone can see B2 file versions using an argument -b2-versions there isn’t an official way to reconstruct the entire folder structure at a particular time. Rclone is a powerful tool for moving data to and from many cloud providers including support for Backblaze B2. Rclone gets pretty close however lacks necessary B2 specifics to fully reconstruct. While the data is all safe, there isn’t a good way to do a full time machine style restore. My backup B2 bucket is configured with unlimited file versions, which means my nightly incremental WordPress backups, in theory, should be fully restorable at any point in the past. Each B2 bucket has its own lifecycle rules which determines how long to keep previous file versions. I recently switched over to Backblaze B2 to store my website backups, and it’s been a great experience.
