Shoutout to moderators at website Blog`s, who deleted two my comments for no reason. We'd rather not offer you our product in the first place if it's unsustainable to continue to do it in the future, which is why there are no plans to make a Linux version of our Personal/Biz Backup product. We do love Linux - in fact the vast majority of our servers use Debian. This means no Linux, no server OSs, no network shares. That does mean we have to be pretty strict about what we can and can't back up for users. We want to avoid being those guys because we want to continue to offer the service to as many people as possible for a fair price and not pull the rug out from under them because we didn't design it to be sustainable. And we spent months agonizing over it, it was almost hilarious how the customers responded with 'oh, only a $1 increase? No problem!'Ĭompare that to some other 'unlimited' services who have had to step back from their original offerings by trimming features or storage space to continue to offer the service.

In fact, in 13 years of offering it we've only increased prices once - from $5/month to $6/month. We really don't want to remove features or increase prices unless we really have to.

Not only for us, because we like to feed our families and keep the business going, but also for the customers so they can depend on us for years to come.

The fundamental thing is that we want to make Backblaze Personal Backup sustainable for the long term. If BackBlaze don't want to make Linux agent, why is that?
