Also one thing to note is any drive that doesn't get files written to it frequently, even if it's internal, is considered archival and will be considered "unplugged" and will have its data removed after 30 days, not just external drives. I have some old drives that hold old data or photos that don't get viewed and I have to remember to add a file to those drives. Got tired of doing that every 25-30 days and paid for the 1 year retention. For the stress and time it saves, $24/yr extra was worth it for me.

So only Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage works for synology nas (linux distro) with Hyper Backup? (as mentioned in the link above?)
I just bought 3 14TB external drives as a backup but something like an online backup would be nice, encrypted of course
What would be the best cost effective online storage option for my use?
Thanks, got it. Code still working. Went for the 2 years for $65.
[update] never mind, read your other post that explains it a little more clear. So for 2 years of retention it would be $50, plus the $65 already paid thats $115 for 2 years of unlimited PC/MAC backups.

Edit: Saw your other message. Sorry it wasn't clear at first, was trying to send a response quickly to help folks make a decision since time was running out ;D
Also, FYI as an existing customer, I thought I'd be able to try to get the offer, but Backblaze doesn't have a review page for the purchase if you're logged in. I added 2 licenses and click "buy" as a logged in customer, you get charged immediately... not too happy about the UX of that and now I have 2 unused licensed I need refunded

What if you buy a new computer? Can you authorize the files on the new computer so they aren't deleted without needing to reupload?

For the other question I haven't seen anything about migrating the license to a different PC on their website.
Thanks OP!!!

I bought a cheaper drive to shuck, chose the directories I wanted on the website, ordered the restore drive, copied over data… then in the Backblaze program, just select the new drive and it'll detect it as the old one because of the hash on each file.
However, the current limit is 8 TB; they've hinted that since going public, there would be increases, though it's all a waiting game.
If it's a new computer, you just transfer the license over. Their website has many help articles for nearly every scenario.
