Yev from Backblaze here -> Still working on it ;-) You know, as a funny aside - it turns out that it's hard to open a data center in a different country. We're learning quite a bit about the process! Very fascinating stuff, will make for interesting blog posts :D

Great for blog posts but any ETA? I'd like to .. you know... start backing up my data with 3-2-1 rule :P

Hey, I wrote the blog on that (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/) so I appreciate the desire ;-)

ETA...sooner than you may think, but not Today!

I know, that's why i HAD to make that reference :)

I would love to know that, too. Geographical distance to my data - and the potential bandwidth loss incurred by that - is what's keeping me personally (and, potentially, my current employer) from becoming a paying customer.

Yev from Backblaze here - oh? Where are you located!? We're working hard on EU - lots of meetings, tons of them!

Austria. Thanks for working so hard to make this happen, looking forward to pushing offsite backups to you in the future ;)

not a backblaze employee, just a keen eyed user

Blackblaze uses f00{0..9}.backblazeb2.com which represents different data centers.

Currently f003.backblazeb2.com is live and returns a IP based out of the Netherlands.

Huh! Would you look at that. We had some of our Operations Team go to the Netherlands a few months ago, but they swore they just wanted to see the Rijksmuseum...

They're hiring here in the Netherlands too.

That's not us - but easy mistake! I think Backbase is a NL ISP.

aye. My mistake. Keep up the awesome service btw :).

We shall, we shall! ;-)
