True, the standard Backblaze offering will erase your backup if you’re not online for six months. If you have an external drive that’s offline for 30 days, they will erase your backup.

A B2 based backup solution costs more but you don’t have those limitations.

Accord to Backblaze the retention period is thirty days for the personal plan [1]. Where do you see six months? If a file is deleted on the source device, and the deletion is synchronized to the BB repository, the recovery window is 30 days.

Different thing: https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664898-What-... If your computer is offline for six months and doesn’t connect to BackBlaze, they erase all of your data.

If you have an externally attached drive on your computer and it isn’t connected in 30 days and your computer is online, they erase that backup of the external drive.

If you reconnect your computer after a month and you don’t have the external drive connected, they erase your backup.
