![]() ![]() I then found out I can't upload them over the web interface because the files are over 500MB, which means I have to use the API. I used 7zip to encrypt them so now I have 7 or 8 "foldername.7z" files that I want to upload to backblaze. I'm just trying to backup some pictures for safe keeping (only around 100GB total, broken up into 1 to 15 GB chunks, not as a single 100GB file). ![]() I found this post because I have basically the same problem, except in windows 10. I'm just overwhelmed by all this stuff I've got to learn when I thought it would be much simpler. At what point do I switch over to trying to download and learn one of those tools? b2-linux ?Īnd before I get too much deeper, I've vaguely heard that I'm supposed to use something like restic, rclone, etc. ![]() I get an error Command 'b2' not found.Īm I doing something wrong at this point? Or do I just run commands as. b2-linux and it spits out a usage manual with an error at the end that says the following arguments are required: command.īut the guide says once the tool is installed (which I don't even know if it is), you can type "b2" on the command-line to see all of the options. Eventually I learn I need to type the pathname to run something, so I type. Here I'm told to download the Linux command-line tool, change permissions so it's executable, then run the tool. I already feel like I'm in over my head and it sounds like this is for developers, so I navigate to the Quick Start guide. I click on the starter guide and it starts talking about the S3 Compatible and B2 Native APIs. I would just use Backblaze's Personal Backup app to simplify things, but there's no Linux version. My goal is simply to backup personal files from two of my computers (one Linux, one Windows) to a cloud service for the purpose of having an off-site backup. I'm in need of a guide for Linux that holds my hand, or just an assurance that I'm on the right track. TL DR I feel like a complete idiot reading through the B2 quick start guide.
