Maybe YOU are the one being selfish? Data doesn't exist if it is not backed up. Keeping drives flowing to Backblaze was WAY more important then you getting a new drive so you can store a new subset of your porn collection.
For one thing Dell just stopped selling Hard Drives altogether. Why? They had to still ship hard drives for warranty replacements and to builds in new computers/servers. You just couldn't buy the drive by itself.
... So 2 TB is approximately the tipping point, use less and you're better off "self hosting" in the basement, use more and you're better off using their service (and they're likely losing money if you use more than 2 TB).
Also I'm curious if its "unlimited" like cellphone or internet access is "unlimited" in other words they'll cut you off if they're losing money on you.
Hosting in your basement has its downsides. It doesn't account for
1) Fires
2) Floods
3) Lightening Strikes
4) Theives
Also, they haven't cut me off so far so I think unlimited is really unlimited.
Yes, I'm a photographer and I have 5TB of storage in my computer and I use Backblaze. I recently had a 1TB hard drive die (controller failure). So I began to restore to my ample space on my other drives. The problem I ran into is that the restore file only gets hosted for 7 days and then deleted. So in order to restore I have to break up the restore into smaller bites and download them one at a time. My other option is that they will ship me an external 1TB drive for $189. I'm not on my fourth file download of the restore. I'll get all my files back but its a serious pain.
There are no "Tricks" in mathematics. There are "tricks" in algorithms however. For instance lets say I design a robot whose job it is to sense a temperature and then apply an appropriate amount of cooling to a device to keep it in spec. Lets say the sensor can tell the robot any number for the temp but in normal conditions it would never see anything over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Well I could tell the robot to ignore any number from the sensor over 120 and just treat it like 120. This is a "trick" but in the normal course of operation it will have no effect. The problem is when these tricks backfire.
Just in my county, one cyclist is killed a month. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/cyclists-372241-killed-year.html That doesn't account for the hundreds of injuries a year. Quite frankly in all the times I have thought about getting on my bike, not a single time did wearing a helmet deter me. I think that is the problem with this idea. The notion that helmets deter ridership. I am more deterred by having to put on special shoes or the thought of getting off my lazy ass for once.
The second issue is that people in this country rarely if ever bike for transportation. They bike for Recreation. If they are going to be biking recreationally, they should do it OFF the road entirely. In my county there are at least 15 different bike paths which have right of ways that never see vehicle traffic. Yet people daily choose to ride paths on the street for recreational purposes. I'll never understand why.
Trust me, if every statement that caused a controversy was taken out of context, the liberal media would be all over it correcting it and giving context. Or maybe by context you mean "Include a longer quotation even though that additional context will still carry the same meaning". This is true with the Obama speech on business. People seized on "You didn't build that", others had a fit about "context" and then with all the context it was true he was still arguing for Big Government and downplayed the hard work and determination of business owners everywhere. Is it that "context" you speak of?
Except when their preliminary findings are of the sort like "Oh crap that data doesn't fit at all. Well here is a broom, just sweep it under this nearby rug".
Actually Mitt Romney gets a lot of bad press for supposed things with no actual factual basis. Even Howard Stern who routinely lambasts Obama supporters bought into the idea that Bain Capital purposefully took over sinking ships of companies. Even if it was true, it wouldn't reflect badly on them but its not even true. A VAST majority of the companies they took over grew substantially. Not just Staples but also GT Bicycle and a Steel company and many others. Then he reinvested the money he made into things that pay dividends. He didn't break any laws or do anything unethical. Yes people get all in a tizzy that "Wah, he didn't pay his fair share". Boo Hoo. Hate the game, don't hate the player. He played by the rules. If the Tax system is broken, then talk about fixing it. Don't get mad because smart people figure out ways to limit their liabilities. That's just pure jealousy. Meanwhile Obama may have released his taxes which show by the way that he hasn't held a real job in his entire life. In addition, he won't release his college transcripts, nor a plethora of other documents that people want released. Yet, he's given a free pass on that because he wears dark glasses and plays lots of golf. The Hypocrisy is so thick, you can taste it.
Hmm, I seem to have posted something about this in another story. Ah yes, some troll was going on and on about how someone was a nutcase at a Tea Party event and nobody around him called him out. Then somebody else asked the first person why he didn't call out the nutcase at his (insert political party here) event. Well look, we found the nutcase. So I'll go ahead and do everybody a favor. I'M CALLING SHENS! You can't just call people sociopaths because you don't agree with their ideologies.
You call it a "Fishing Expedition" and I call it Discovery. It is one of the most important process in the court system today and without it court cases would evolve into he said/she said all day long. If you do something which merits a court case in the first place, expect everything to come out into the light.
There is a third option here. Not Government but not contractors. That's right people, they could hire their own security staff and train them in house (GASP). This would probably help communication, firing and hiring, and allow them to tailor protocols for responses and job duties better.
You are looking at the legal liability and ignoring the marketing and PR problems. Do you think the gun owners in this country will lease equipment from this company in the future? I think not.
Given that there have been many regulations placed on gun ownership and manufacturing over the past several decades and none of them have been overturned by the courts (who know the constitution better than you do), I respectfully disagree with your statement.The real question is: What to do about an outlaw government?

Sure, when was the last time Office 365 went down? I rest my case.
Actually with our backup solution you can get the Backup VM online in about an hour.
In the latest client you can delete the exclusions for ISO files or anything else for that matter. There is also no file size limit anymore.

Costco survives on being a low price leader. If something is so expensive that they cannot sell it at a good price, then they just won't sell it.

...(i am presuming there is some amount of day/night load curve).
It backs up continuously so its probably more like a straight line.
RSYNC is powerful but my question is this. How do you monitor it?

This doesn't make any sense at all but is still probably true.
