Thank you for this. There's a post in here for restoring problems (error on process some files). Make sure to make /storage read/write (it is read-only by default). You can change this in the container's settings (don't forget to toggle to the Advanced View). Have the same problem and see the solution in Unraid forums. I hope it helps. I tested it and it restored my encrypted files from Backblaze :D
Great tutorial - made it very simple. I was a bit annoyed to find that there's a license fee (and yes, please disclose up front!) but after looking at how much better it seems to be than duplicati and the long-term benefits of a reliable backup tool it seems worth it. There is also a 14 day trial as well as a personal license option which may be relevant to some people.
Started the upload using your tutorial. Instructions were on point just like the last one. Some notes: - When initially activating the key, it says "activate commercial license" but I have a personal key. You can enter your personal key in the commercial license section and it activates just fine. - Make note, you can not change your upload speed once you start the initial upload. - Cloudberry is showing 158GB of data to upload, but my folder contains ~500GB of data. I don't think the compression is that good, but we'll see. - I also used the calculator on Backblaze's site for estimating the cost to me.
@@TheDadNerd It was random, and giving me connection to Backblaze errors. I kept restarting and it would pickup where it left off. It took about 9 restarts. I changed the restart attempts, and time between attempts to 1000ms for the last restart. Though, hard to tell if that made an impact. My connection is solid at home (Unifi products + 1gig fiber).
Thanks for the video. Very clear but unfortunately doesn't solve my problem as I've been able to do backups. Been tearing my hair out with with failed restores for the past few days. Author of the docker is no help. Probably doing something stupid I've done encrypted and unencrypted backups but the restore always fails with the message "Error on process some files." Seems to back up fine. I can got onto Backblaze with my browser and it looks like the files are in the bucket. If I do an unencrpted backup of a picture or tv show, I can download it in the browser and open it. Created a new, empty share for restores to try to eliminate that as a variable.

Thanks.
Nice video. I use B2 with Hybrid Backup and Sync on my QNAP, but the B2 end of things is very similar. One suggestion: Maybe you cover this somewhere else I did not see, but I suggest you mention that B2 is billed on both the storage you use and the number of transactions you use. Thus it costs you to download data, not just store data. If you go into Caps & Alerts on your B2 account you can set things appropriately. If you neglect to to this, as I did initially, you may find yourself with a bigger bill than you expected. Much larger storage, unexpected downloads (it was for deduplication in my case, which I ended up turning off), or whatever. If you only expect to use B2 for storing backed-up files you can set the download limit low so you get an alert if something unexpected starts happening. It will limit itself before you get the monthly bill. Same with storage. If you plan to only store 400GB you can set the daily storage limit to, say, 440GB and you won't accidently try to store 1TB without you knowing about it.
Pay to download? Yeah... F' that! I've heard nothing but negatives about BB... but this one takes the cake. I can see them charging me to put data on a HDD and to mail it to me... but for me to have to pay for a connection to DL MY DATA is crazy.
You can look into Duplicati. I have had some issues in the past with the database getting corrupted but it seems to be more stable in the past few months.
Ok seriously? Why are you so on point with videos that are next on my todo list? Guess I'll be following this tutorial :-) Why'd you choose this over Rclone? Also, if you sign up for msp360 affiliate, I'll make sure to click through your link to get cloudberry.
haha thanks Carlos! I didn't even know they had an affiliate program. Maybe I should look into that. I will also check out rclone. I was familiar with cloudberry from past projects and it has worked well for me.
There are definitely different tools to get the job done. I ran Duplicati for a while but had constant corruption of the database so I switched to cloudberry.
I too use B2 as a remote backup for my unraid shares, but didn't know of cloudberry (I just used a script and rclone to sync all shares starting with a given string "offsite" ) Will certainly give cloudberry a try ...as for their encryption that makes me a little nervous (is it possible to do a recovery without cloudberry ? is the encryption and compression algorith they use open? so that , if needed we could write a program to recover files without them?) subscribed
Yeah I believe the personal backup plans like Carbonite and Backblaze Personal use a client program on your computer to backup the files. They do this so it's harder to backup your whole network, or a NAS etc. B2 charges you a low price based on usage, so if you have a server with many TB's of data you are not constantly hitting their server uploading, downloading, for unlimited.

Update: I've had 2 failures due to not being able to connect to Backblaze, and 1 freeze so far. Hmm.
Getting failures regularly. Attempting to chat with MSP360 support now (though I've read on forums they offer no support to docker clients).
Interesting. Does it fail right at the beginning or in the middle of a backup?

Hi. Does anyone know why CloudBerry is stating "Total file size: 37.06GB" when the folder I'm backing up is like 250GB?
Thank you very much for the video walkthrough!
are files, mirrored to Backblaze? So if I was to backup without encryption and then browse a folder, the folder structure will be the same?
What is the typical cost for it??
Thanks for the video. Very clear but unfortunately doesn't solve my problem as I've been able to do backups.

The link doesn't seem to work...
Don't think this one-time payment exists for clouldberry. Looks like they have gone to annual subscription.
And how do you recover your backup with Cloudberry if you need to ?

Thanks but affiliate link doesnt work. Dont find anyplace to buy cloudberry Backup. Do you have another docker to use?
You can look into Duplicati. I have had some issues in the past with the database getting corrupted but it seems to be more stable in the past few months.
Thanks for sharing. The affiliate link is broken.
Thanks! Simple, easy, and no command line anything required!
but sorry to say your affiliate link wasn't working!

Thanks for telling me about the affiliate program. The link in the description is now updated.
@@TheDadNerd NOOOOOOOOOOO I just bought it like 5 minutes ago =(
I'll make it up one day =)
@@TheDadNerd The link is malformed a bit. Seems cut off because of character something something.
No problem at all! Thanks for letting me know. I re added the link and it appears to work on my end.
Why cloudberry over Duplicati?

I mean... I can see that they're using AES but there are lots of possible implementations...
Great question that I actually do not know the answer to. I will have to look more into their encryption.
So why backblaze B2? Doesn't personal backblaze offer unlimited? what's the difference?
For servers you are going to need to use B2. Still pretty affordable for most situations.
