Stephen Partington[1] > https://secure.backblaze.com/buy.htm I'd appreciate someone enlightening me regarding Backblaze's business model. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard, but when I see ... https://secure.backblaze.com/buy.htm > Unlimited Data for your Mac and PC. [5 $/mo, 50 $/yr.] Prices are per computer. ... my bullshit meter pegs. I'm guessing Backblaze's reasoning/practice is like that pioneered by various ISPs and telcos who promise "unlimited data" transfers to users: if any particular user's data transfers exceed some threshold, throttle their data rate. A data storage provider would modify that to something like, "sure, you can *try* to store more than [threshold quantity] of data here, but your backup transfer rate will go to hell, and restore? fuggedaboudit." Or am I just ignorant of some great technological advance made, and of the service to humanity provided, by Backblaze?
