Yes it is. Assuming your IT guy at work runs linux, then when you ask him: What backup should I get, if his answer is backblaze that brings a lot of business to you.

Personally I assume they don't release a linux client because then people would backup their server to it.

Those IT guys don't need to use Backblaze on Linux to recommend it; they're going to recommend whatever "just works" so they don't have to "go down the rabbit hole".

When I still used Android, I would recommend iPhones all the time to people. Why? Because it just works, and I don't want to be stuck troubleshooting their Android issues for the life of their phone.
