<h3>Moving to Backblaze</h3> <h3>Moving to Backblaze</h3>
To save money I moved all the services I had running on my Linux VPS to my Mac at home. Since I now only had one machine that needed backing up and I didn't need Linux compatibility I had some more options. With the S3 issues I was seeing I decided to move to <a href="http://www.backblaze.com/partner/af0192" class="affiliate">Backblaze</a>. For US$50 per year I get unlimited, versioned, encrypted storage and decent Mac support. They also have a web interface that can be handy for grabbing files from my Mac at home when I'm at work.

The move to Backblaze took a lot longer than I had planned. First off uploading nearly 200Gb of data was always going to take a long time but it took far longer than it needed to due to a questionable default upload limit in the Backblaze application. It wasn't until after the two month or so initial upload finished that I discovered the setting. So advice to anyone performing an initial upload, <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/speedtest/">remove the upload limit</a>! The move to Backblaze took a lot longer than I had planned.
