I really wish the B2 client support uploading file from Unix pipe. It would be nice to be able to archive a huge directory into a tar.bz archive and directly pipe the result into the B2 client without having to save the archive into disk first.

Currently I have to save the tar.bz archive to disk first before uploading to balance. Took several hours to do so (huge spinning disks array, not as fast as ssd), while uploading to B2 is blazing fast. Saving the archive to ramdrive essentially solved this, but as the data grows I don't have enough memory to spare anymore for a ram drive that can fit the whole archive.
