Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive?

AWS Glacier (inb4 fuck Amazon - it’s cheap)

I mean, unlimited, personal backup on Backblaze is $99 USD per year. The only downside is restoring large, multi-tb backups. The way they get around that is ‘Restore by Mail’. You ‘rent’ a 10 tb drive)s) from them with your files and have it shipped to you. When you have transferred your data, you can return the drive for a full refund. Also, temporary storage is not backed up like CDs, etc. You have to physically transfer that to an internal HDD / SDD.

Too bad you need to use their backup solution.
I’d much rather use Veeam Backup and Replication instead of their proprietary solution.

  There are solutions for everyone’s parameters, scenarios, and use cases. You just have to pick a horse and ride it.

    And their B2 is too expensive in comparison.

I think Deep Glacier is cheaper if you’re backing up less than 8 TB, so I think I may have to go with Backblaze if I end up using up all 12 TB. Really depends.

  Just throwing it out there mate. I’m sure there may be others. I just have had a decent amount of time with them, and so far I have had no issues. However, I will say that one man’s solution is another man’s plague.
