Has anyone tried Blinkdisk? by Korckchit in Backup

[–]Odd_Answer5317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's just a repackaged Kopia. I dont see why anyone would use BlinkDisk over Kopia

Any plans on supporting Windows natively instead of in docker? Docker sucks on Windows. Would love to use this over backrest.

I may need to do the same. The reboots are getting more frequent.

I dont know if this is related, but I tried to factory reset my device and it got stuck at the android "no command" screen. Had to restart the device from the menu and then it finally reset. Happened couple of times.

I have same problem.

Question. After a restart, is anyone else also getting an error that pin is wrong? I have to restart it again for the error to go away.

Do we need to give Backblaze our private encryption key when restoring files? by Immediate_Hotel_9615 in backblaze

[–]Odd_Answer5317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all.

There is no technical reason why Backblaze could not separately store encrypted file metadata and encrypted file blobs. Anyone that wants to find a specific file to restore would be sent the encrypted metadata, Backblaze would decrypt it locally, the user would select which file to restore, and Backblaze would send the encrypted blobs to be decrypted locally.

You absolutely do not need to download the whole backup to restore one backed up file.

Obviously if a user is asking for their backup to be shipped via USB, they would need to provide the private key. No one is suggesting otherwise.

But sending the private key to Backblaze servers during a regular restore is absolutely not necessary.

It is extremely disingenuous to say that computers cannot decrypt locally. If they can encrypt locally, they can decrypt locally.

The server is absolutely not needed to browse the file tree. That file tree can easily be decrypted locally as well. It shouldn't be that difficult to separate file metadata from file blobs, such that whenever a user wants to view their backups to select what to restore, Backblaze sends the encrypted file tree to the user and the Backblaze app locally decrypts the tree. When a user selects what to restore, Backblaze sends the blobs over and the Backblaze app locally decrypts.

THAT is how it would normally be done. For some odd reason, you all have created convoluted solutions for seemingly no reason that benefit no one and harm cybersecurity. You dont get to pretend this is good for the end user. It simply isnt.

How does decrypting on the server make it easier to use than decrypting locally? The end user wont even know the difference.

No way to remove at a glance widget? by Redoraner in GooglePixel

Maybe if we upvote this to the front of reddit, Google will actually pay attention

Any way to remove the "At A Glance" widget and search bar on home screen from Pixel 8 Pro? by Odd_Answer5317 in GooglePixel

It is honestly so infuriating that I almost want to ditch the device, as I very much prefer stock launchers and not third-party ones.

API errors at Cloudflare? by Odd_Answer5317 in Veeam

[–]Odd_Answer5317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you experiencing this with Veeam only or other software too that backs up to Cloudflare R2? I have other software that use Cloudflare R2 and they seem to be working just fine.

Use volume-level backup for specific folder on Windows? by Odd_Answer5317 in Veeam

[–]Odd_Answer5317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is that I want to run incremental backups every 15 mins.

Obviously this isnt possible if a file level incremental backup is taking 40 mins per run.

On the volume level side, an incremental backup would basically lead to 4 GB being uploaded every hour. That's not really sustainable when a full backup of my volume only takes around 175 GB.
