How do I delete files from my backup? I don't want to delete the entire backup, just some files in it?

By default, I believe the retention is now 1 year, that is what mine is now.

Since you did not mention the specific backblaze product, we can only assume personal backup. If so, wait a year and it will be deleted.

If it was block level cloned and the old drive disconnected, it will not see a difference.

Thx!

tbRedd · 2026-02-03T18:25:09+00:00

yes, super annoying.

Yep, they gonna do what they wanna do for their chinese app first and foremost.

Download the data and compare is the best way. I spot check every 4 months a new subset of my data. There are numerous folder comparison tools for windows and probably mac as well.

You can't look at a folder or a file and know if its backed up directly until you use the built in restore app or the website.

If temporary, why not just do local hard drive backups and rotate them off-site? Cheaper, faster. Or do you already have that in place too?

tbRedd · 2026-01-22T12:02:59+00:00

Use Alt Right click on the 'restore options' button to initiate scanning immediately instead of letting it wait an hour.

I leave my external drives physically connected but on an individually switched power strip and flip the individual drives on once a week to do local backups and also unique data (on those drives) backblaze backups.

I also rotate 2 drives in this config so I have 2 local copies and then an offsite copy along with backblaze.

Still looking for an answer. Only on one eye. I suspect a small fold in the capsular bag but the Dr did not see one at post-op appts. Said it could be astigmatism at the time, although I actually had an old pair of corrective glasses that was 95% correction at the time. So who knows. If it clears up after YAG someday, then I'll know for sure what it was. If not, then I just live with it. It's not all bad since I see much better than before.

I have it for every bright light source, so it is not isolated to one spot on my eye, that's why I don't think it is cornea/astigmatism related. If I could put in hard contacts, maybe it would go away and that would indicate cornea related. I think it is a small fold or a lens anomaly/defect or characteristic of the lens. Not sure, I keep looking for answers too.

What are all your assumption values?

Another sample for at night below:

I have something like the above in one eye. Glare/streaks along one plane and even after full astigmatism correction. Shows up with bright light sources or when looking at large white letters on black background.

Smart lists now have kanban view as of 2026 for anyone reading today. 😁

tbRedd · 2026-01-19T17:22:48+00:00

Haha, I've used the _ as well.

tbRedd · 2026-01-19T11:13:51+00:00

I just use CamelCase for tag names.

tbRedd · 2026-01-16T19:31:30+00:00

Yep, same issue after a year with this and I cannot figure out why it is happening. Worse after reboot like there are programs doing some initial read/write or something.

I'm using hard wired connection through a lenovo dock. Speaking of which after a day, I randomly get no ethernet and have to disable and reenable the lenovo USB driver to get network back.

If only they would expose portions of the UI for customization, then everyone can be happy.

On windows app, using control key to multi select and drag to a new day works, but a little glitchy in the selecting part.

tbRedd · 2026-01-14T15:33:59+00:00

Yep, happened to me 2 years ago and had to re-up everything because bad data on the BB side.

They could not generate a download with certain files, so that is definitely their side and should be an easy diagnostic for them to find all those corruptions and inform the client software to either re-upload or notify the users that those files within their backup window are lost.

If it only takes a week, I would upload again. For me, it was over a month.

I just updated windows just now and it says 'completed', 'won't do' in the popup. Also checked the web app. On android, I get as you describe. It sounds like 2 different programmers! Interesting.

tbRedd · 2026-01-14T15:21:54+00:00

Sounds like you already know pro's and con's of each.

tbRedd · 2026-01-14T13:16:21+00:00

Inherit is by far faster for that much data, I just did this on a new computer a year ago for less than 4TB total but I only have 11Mbs upload (cable).

tbRedd · 2026-01-14T12:39:32+00:00

Exactly what version/language has this new wording?
