I have a 56 TB local Unraid NAS that is parity protected against single drive failure, and while I think a single drive failing and being parity recovered covers data loss 95% of the time, I’m always concerned about two drives failing or a site-/system-wide disaster that takes out the whole NAS.

For other larger local hosters who are smarter and more prepared, what do you do? Do you sync it off site? How do you deal with cost and bandwidth needs if so? What other backup strategies do you use?

(Sorry if this standard scenario has been discussed - searching didn’t turn up anything.)

    Explain to me how they couldn’t. Without simply stating “it’s encrypted”.

    On the B2 plan you can use open source solutions like Kopia to KNOW that data is encrypted on your system with keys only you have, before Backblaze ever sees it.

    Explain to me, how the personal plan using their closed source application achieves the same.

      So your whole point is that you shouldn’t trust one of the biggest cloud backup companies on the planet when they say that your data is encrypted, with no proof that they’re telling lies…and you’re asking me to prove that they’re telling the truth?

      The onus is on you to prove that they’re telling lies, not on me to prove what they say is true.
