Comment on Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer files

Backblaze B2 is S3 compatible but not built on S3. B2 is also considerably cheaper than S3, so it probably wouldn’t make sense if it was built on S3.

Correct, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They’ve got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc

Thanks, I was wondering why the s3 prefixes were used. If my memory serves, b2 is especially better on the billing rates for retrieval, so a better choice if large disaster recovery is on your mind.
