How I setup Backblaze
I use backblaze as my off-site backup location, this is for both tarballs and complete sync of my nextcloud files. They have been reliable with no downtime that I have seen and also very cheap, the other thing that really helps is they now have S3 support out of the box. So you could use them as an S3 like storage.
My setup
I use rclone for all my uloads to backblaze, this is off the back of using it at work and knowing how to get the most out of it.
- First install rclone, as this will allow you to upload and download.
- You will then need to setup your Backblaze account, thats where you will get your account ID and key.
- Config of rclone can be done by running rclone with the
config
option, or updating the below config with your ID and KEY.
