There are plenty of other amazingly solid backup solutions out there to use instead. The thing Backblaze does well isn't backing up, it's marketing. There are per-request ingest charges when using PUT, COPY, or lifecycle rules to move data into any S3 storage class. They also used to (and still may, I don't know) lie about what files are uploaded already- they used to upload all the small files, say the upload was complete, and then queue the big files up end send them separate. Eventually she got an apology and they admitted it was there fault, but at the end of the day the backup company apparently didn't keep backups and all the files were lost.Īfter this happened we found others who experienced similar. When we attempted to restore the files it didn't work, and they blamed her. Not setting up a lifecycle expiration period might increase your S3 costs because AWS Backup backs up and stores all unexpired versions of your S3 data. We recommend that you set a lifecycle expiration period for your S3 versions. We have kept this prerequisite because in AWS we recommend S3 versioning as a best practice for data protection. When their systems deleted all the files it still displayed that they were all there, so when she brought her computer in for repair and they said they had to wipe the drive she said sure. You must enable S3 Versioning on your S3 bucket to use AWS Backup for Amazon S3. Operational issues are also posted to individual accounts via the Personal Health Dashboard. Amazon Macie is a data security and data privacy service that uses machine learning and pattern matching to help you discover, monitor, and protect sensitive data in your AWS environment. It turns out their dashboard, at least at the time, was simple a cached copy of the file list. Consider using Amazon Macie with Amazon S3. I'm going to give a negative recommendation for backblaze due to them losing all of my girlfriend's files.
