I'm only using B2 for backup and it's doing a fine job, since from what I understand it also does unlimited history of the files, so in case files get corrupted, theoretically I still have previous versions around.
Not secret, but private and there is a difference. That said I still expect Backblaze or Dropbox to keep my data private.
Photos are not worth encrypting anyway, since a lot of them end up being shared on Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, etc, as photos are meant to be shared, at least with your family. if the data should be discovered by my family in case I'm not around, then I won't encrypt it. Not sure if it was the software's fault or the storage. I'm backing up important work stuff with Arq Backup for example and I've had my archive corrupted once. Another reason is that in my experience encrypted data is more sensitive to bit rot and bugs than unencrypted data. In case something happens to me, I want the technical barrier to be low enough for my family to discover the backup. But I'm not encrypting the files.Įncryption raises the barrier for both third-parties and family. I'm also backing up my photo archive on B2 via rclone and it works great, it costs like $1 for 200 GB which is awesome.
