Cool setup. I'm not a Backblaze customer, so I'm curious. How is your setup better than using their client for personal backup? The webpage mentions threading and encryption.

Backblaze's backup product doesn't support backing up a NAS. It is for backing up a single Windows or Mac computer, and priced as such. They state this policy is to avoid abuse. Fair enough.
Backblaze's object storage product, B2, is priced per GB-month, so you pay for what you use. Fair enough. Because it is charged this way, it is open for whatever creative use developers can come up with.
I use B2 because I'm locked out of using Backblaze Online Backup - and that's fine with me, because it's the right product for the job.
