You know what, I had Backblaze tell me that I had a drive missing on Friday that had been disconnected for 14 days. My external USB drive failed to startup up correctly after a power outage. However, I had 3 or 4 notices from Backblaze in that time of successfully completed back ups. I think the default is to warn after not successfully backing up for 5 days. I set that to 2 instead. Some of the checks seem disconnected from each other.

I’ve also had issues with downloading my 2TB of data the Backblaze has. Takes about 3 or 4 days, if you’re successful. With retries and failures, wall time was about a week. And I have a 1G/1G internet connection. And doing the work to break it into 500GB chunks sucks.

I’d like to back up more of my files but I worry I would not be able to get it back.
