About Backblaze B2
Have two options. The first option is to make the limbo files part of your Backblaze backup. You can do this in two ways.Copy the limbo files to your computer and they will be automatically backed up to Backblaze with the rest of your files.orConnect the external USB hard drive to your computer and configure Backblaze to back up that device. This device should remain connected to the computer while the backup occurs, and then once every couple of weeks to make sure that nothing has changed on the hard drive.If neither of the above solutions works for you, the other option is to use the Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage service.What Is Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?B2 Cloud Storage is a service for storing files in the cloud. Files are available for download at any time, either through the API or through a browser-compatible URL. Files stored in the B2 Storage Cloud are not deleted unless you explicitly delete them. In that way it is very similar to CrashPlan. Here’s some help, if you are unsure about the difference between Backblaze Computer Backup and Backblaze B2.There are four ways to access Backblaze B2: 1) a web GUI, 2) a command-line interface (CLI), 3) an API, and 4) via partner integrations, such a MSP360 (formerly CloudBerry Lab), Synology, Arq, QNAP, GoodSync, and many more you can find on our B2 Cloud Storage integrations page. Most CrashPlan users will find either the web GUI or a partner integration to be the way to go. Note: There is an additional cost to use the B2 Cloud Storage service, and we’ll get to that shortly.Since you already have a Backblaze account, you just have to log in to your account.
