@VasundharaNLP Can you put some data onto an external drive? I am having the same problem right now My MacBook Air (256GB) can’t run Backblaze (back up software) or update its OS because of how little space is left on the drive. 😑

@jaybird110127 @backblaze @featherbear15 Near as I can tell, the problem seems to be that the graphics for selecting folders and the like or not labeled with any kind of all text, so NVDA I don’t think can see them. What I have to do, is use jaws with graphics verbosity set to all. Don’t know if NVDA has similar

👀 - I literally spend hours of every week for the last three years writing about Cycle and yet somehow this blog post, in some ways, does a better job at breaking down the "whats" and "whys" of the platform than I have. Hat's off @backblaze!

@AppleSupport Of those, Docker is something I started last night, the problem was present before starting that (I expect it to use a lot of CPU in bursts as I was building containers with it). Spark is running all the time (email), as are Teams (sadly) and bztransmit (Backblaze backups).

@backblaze Performance problems were the reason I stopped using Backblaze several years ago, and just recently came back to it to give it another shot. Support couldn’t explain it back then, but removing the client immediately solved the problem, so 🤷‍♂️

Super tip: using @backblaze and your computer slows down with time/use? Exclude node_modules, .git, and vendor folders and rebuild yourself a backup. You get less churn and a lot more responsive computer, especially when developing long hours on it.

@nickevansdev @PCSpecialist I backup to Backblaze actually, but they have a lot of RAID, more than I could ever provide. Either way, I just need some fast local storage and not pay out for a drive that will slow down and choke out not too long from now.

@bryanminear @backblaze That’s odd. I wonder why that happened, and I’m sorry, buddy. I have been backing up with @backblaze for years now. Never a problem. As of today, 10.42 TB is all safe in the cloud.

@Doki_R6 Earlier this year sudden connection issues drove me crazy, and I gave the program a try. It turned out my issue was Backblaze silently consuming my bandwidth in the background to backup my files to the cloud, and NPM didn't help to diagnose, but I still thought it was nifty.

@backblaze It's still causing me to spend an hour unable to work as the disk usage stays at 100% because of your process that's supposed to run at 3am. That's before I give up and reboot. When are you going to fix the schedule bug? Or am going to have to ask IT to find a replacement?

@MattBednarsky @backblaze Ever get a solution? I've had same problem since Friday. BB's Help Dude said maintenance message means outdated software & told me to update. I followed BB's instructions, but it still says maintenance, still not backing up. What'd they have you do?

@MacManX Hmm the one benefit of BackBlaze is it's unlimited storage for a flat $7 a month. The only reason why I'm paying extra is I have almost 4 TB I need to pull back down and I was wondering if their extra-cost B2 cloud service would be faster.

@macromicropaleo @backblaze The repair person was surprised at the issue because there was "no water damage or anything". I take good care of my tech. Something's going around though - my mom's phone also failed last week, and at least two other people I know have had m***ive computer disasters this month.

Is Backblaze down right now?
