![]() ![]() I saw amazon has a cost competitive plan similar to crashplan/hubic. It's by far the best option for file-level backups of NASs in terms of cost. I'd also LOVE to see B2 as a storage option. Basically if you do a restore from a NEW QNAP NAS, you have to be sure to select 'destination' in the setup, and select the backup file (.qdff) manually like so: Screenshot at 18.57.11.png In the screenshot above, be sure to select 'latest version' as well. ![]() It makes for a very interesting bit of history. Regardless of service competition, I'd highly recommend reading their blog. Backblaze B2 is an IaaS provider that’s cheap and works well with many backup managers. You may be surprised to learn that Backblaze was the original 5$/mth unlimited provider, long before everyone else, when CrashPlan was still charging $10+ for a few hundred GB of storage.Įven during the Thailand flooding which drove up the cost of HDDs significantly, when every other provider had increased pricing as a result, Backblaze kept their 5$/mth unlimited pricing and managed to survive unscathed. B2 is an online storage mechanism akin to Amazon's S3 service, or RackSpace's CloudFiles, etc…ĬrashPlan is a backup system, which Backblaze also offers as their primary service.
