I'd feel deeply uncomfortable backing up 80tb of data to a $60/year plan, tbh.

It's probably not very important 80 tb.

It isn't, and the super important stuff is backed up a lot more times, a lot more ways.

What you should be more uncomfortable with is the fact that there's basically no way to exfiltrate that data in any cost-effective, practical manner and there's zero recourse if a backup storage company goes "oops" and loses all your data or one day decides to just close up shop.

I don't think backblaze has a chance at losing data, but I really use it as the last resort "oh shit" place. If I lose a drive I'll pay a bit of a premium for whatever multiple of 8TB needs to be sent my way, I'm going to be replacing a $2-300 drive anyways.

If you haven't heard the stevie wonder story check it out. I don't get why artists don't have backups (well, I do, but...). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela_70th_Birthday_T...

Did he ever find the hard drive?

He hasn’t seen it since
