And your excuse for not writing a Linux application is you don't have enough money?!. Estimating 60+ million in profit for the year. You guys made 12.7 million in profit in Q3 2021 Alone. Plus if you have less than 1.2TB of data, it's cheaper to use B2 than Personal Backup! My love is for rclone, but there are plenty out there. If you're running Linux as your primary OS, you can handle one of the B2 integrations (and if you can't - Linux on the Desktop is going to be a big transition). Do not tell me about B2, its not a solution at all for home users (IMHO!) Did your comments fall under these categories? I don't run the blog, so I'm not on top of all the moderation policies, but we generally clean up spam comments, questions that should be directed to our Support team, and comments that are unrelated to the topic of the blog post. Shoutout to moderators at website Blog`s, who deleted two my comments for no reason. We'd rather not offer you our product in the first place if it's unsustainable to continue to do it in the future, which is why there are no plans to make a Linux version of our Personal/Biz Backup product. We do love Linux - in fact the vast majority of our servers use Debian. This means no Linux, no server OSs, no network shares. That does mean we have to be pretty strict about what we can and can't back up for users. We want to avoid being those guys because we want to continue to offer the service to as many people as possible for a fair price and not pull the rug out from under them because we didn't design it to be sustainable.

And we spent months agonizing over it, it was almost hilarious how the customers responded with 'oh, only a $1 increase? No problem!'Ĭompare that to some other 'unlimited' services who have had to step back from their original offerings by trimming features or storage space to continue to offer the service. In fact, in 13 years of offering it we've only increased prices once - from $5/month to $6/month. We really don't want to remove features or increase prices unless we really have to. Not only for us, because we like to feed our families and keep the business going, but also for the customers so they can depend on us for years to come.

The fundamental thing is that we want to make Backblaze Personal Backup sustainable for the long term.

If BackBlaze don't want to make Linux agent, why is that?
