This is from the email they sent me, which is what kind of makes me nervous of their service. Good to hear you're doing ok with 12TB on their service. My initial backup of 5TB about 5 years ago took around 3-4 months. I also backup to another unRAID server/array and I backup the most important data to external USB drives. That's why CrashPlan is the backup of last resort. I imagine that if I ever had to restore a good chunk of that, it could take many months to get it restored. I currently have 12TB backed up with CrashPlan. If I can't use backblaze personal directly from the unraid server, I think I could still run it from my workstation and have it backup everything, but I thought it would be nice to just have it all done on the server side.ĬrashPlan Pro is $10 a month for unlimited data backup. All I'm looking for is a backup solution in case of failed drives or a natural disaster or something. My current workflow is to ingest my photos onto my workstations SSD, over the course of the next few days to weeks I'll perform the work I do to the photos, and then once I'm finished with the photos they'll stay on the SSD for awhile until I transfer them to my storage (which was a Synology NAS but is now a unraid server).

I'm a photographer so I have a decently large amount of data (and it's always growing) that is simply being stored and not changed frequently. They basically told me I should go elsewhere.Įdit: I think I should clarify the purpose of my unraid server and my needs. I know Crashplan can, but I don't feel very confident in their service after speaking with their customer support. Is there a way to use Backblaze's 'personal backup' plan with an unraid server?
