Happy to see that there's Linux support for B2. [0]
Backblaze support Linux-based NAS devices (Synology is mentioned specifically), so my next question is does anyone know of a Linux backup tool which supports B2?
I could roll my own using their python library, but I assume someone else has already gone to the trouble of this.
It would be great to have a daemon running which encrypts and then uploads files to B2 while running on bog standard Linux (e.g. Fedora, Debian)
Anyone written such a tool, or already know of one?
I use duplicity+B2 for all my personal backups and it works just great. Large VM images? Hundreds of thousands of small files? It can handle it all and do so while maxing out my 100 Mbps connection.
We use CloudBerry Backup for Linux Ultimate on a couple servers with great success. Initial setup was a little bumpy and we had to reach out to support, who was responsive and resolved our issue on the first reply. After that it has chugged away on daily backups for a couple months now.
I think we're storing about 20TB of daily and image backups on B2 right now, all done through CloudBerry for Windows Server or Linux.
rclone [0] has great support for B2 [1]. The functionality you want is also available with rclone simply by making a B2 remote then a local encrypted remote which saves to your B2. This will encrypt everything locally before you save it to your B2, and it also has functionality to mount as a system drive. Plenty people do (ahem did [2]) the same with Amazon Cloud Drive's previously unlimited storage.
