I'm also coming up on the end of my Crashplan subscription, and am switching over to Duplicati + B2. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on doing that first huge upload. My upload speed is usually around 1 Mbit / s, and I have around a terabyte to upload (spread out over 4 devices), which is 11.5 days of constant backing up. And really its even worse than that, because whenever I use the full 1 Mbit / s it completely demolishes my (shared) internet, so realistically I'm probably looking at around a month total backup time. I know that when restoring from B2, you can have them send you a hard drive with all your data on it in the mail. Is there like a reverse of that service, where I can send them a hard drive for that first initial upload and then have them send it back?

GuyGizmo posted:I thought that only applied to Backblaze (the backup service), not B2. Does B2 actually offer that? And if you do it, is it still possible to decrypt and decode the data using Duplicati? The more-recent comments by the Backblaze team on this article say that you can do Restore by Mail for a B2 snapshot, although I haven't tried it. Once you have the drive (and have removed Backblaze's encryption), I can't see any reason why duplicati shouldn't be able to decrypt and restore from it. If anyone in this thread has any experience to the contrary, let me know. e: They actually mention Restore By Mail under the "snapshots" tab under "my account" on the Backblaze site. e2: Looks like it's not eligible for the return program, though. So you're out the hard drive money if you do go down that route. VikingofRock fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Jan 26, 2018 |

(e.g. to a local hard drive) and are also using duplicati to manage that.

So I have an external harddrive to which I'd like to back up my windows and linux desktop partitions, and possibly a macbook as well (I'll be using Duplicati for this). What's the best filesystem for the external harddrive? It seems like all the major options (NTFS, exFAT, etc) have compatibility issues. Or should I just partition the drive three ways, and have three separate filesystems on it?
