I'm really trying to figure out my long-term backup play.
Just the other day I was reading about data degradation with traditional spinning HDs. And then you have bit rot with the HFS+ file system with Apple.
What's the catch with Backblaze? It's $50/yr for unlimited storage - what would it cost me to recover, say, 1 RAW file from the system?
Not much. You can download any of your files, and even browse your system online, through your phone, etc. My understanding is that it might take a few minutes/hours to request a backup though - not sure if it's instant? But I'm not certain on that. Downloading/recovering is free. If you need to recover large amounts of data, they can ship you a hard drive at a cost.
