There are lots of tools you can use to back up to Backblaze, including their comsumer backup service.

If you want to sync to B2 specifically with a lightweight tool, check out https://rclone.org/

Rclone is really a fantastic tool, its configurability based on backends allow for amazing combinations!

You can configure any cloud storage backend (B2, S3, GCS ...) and combine it with other utility storage backends, like "crypt" [1], "cache" [2] and "chunker" [3], I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a backup solution.

The only feature I miss from Rclone is automatic directory monitoring and mirroring, which I solved using Syncthing (but forces me to host an additional server for it).

Any good tips on a DIY backup setup using something like a home NAS and B2? In particular, something I can use on a load of devices including phones?
