Backblaze backup reddit IAmA
There is an interesting IAmA on reddit about backblaze backup company:
http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/rhrt4/we_are_the_team_that_runs_online_backup_service/
I thought on posting this as they are providing interesting answers about their infraestructure, costs, services,etc. and also because there have been some threads about backup recently in LET.
Enjoy :-)

I would love for BB to run on linux. I used them for 2 years on a Windows machine and had zero complaints. The backups didn't lag at all.
BackBlaze is neat, I use them for my mothers machine, Set it and forget it! Now and then she calls me because she deleted a file or spreadsheet accidentally and I just use help her use the restore feature and done!
BB had a great article ontheir infrastructure:

Alas, no Linux. So Crashplan for me.
I think i will stick with livedrive. i tried Others but they just dont have the great features livedrive does. Such as Media streaming/Webdav/FTP/etc
Awesome article, it's awesome to see the "small guy" doing things like this.
