I’m currently running on a Mac and have a several TB in files on the laptop and external drives, mostly photos from a professional camera. I’m very interested in switching to Backblaze for my primary backup system. Going to try other options now and maybe go back to Acronis despite their unbearable UX for managing services/subscriptions. I don't know why, and it doesn't really matter. Even after I spend the time doing all of that, now it's having trouble not excluding a folder I don't want to exclude, despite that folder not being in the exclusion list. And each time, you have to browse to the folder again. You have to manually exclude each and every subfolder you want to exclude, one by one. There's no way to select a folder for exclusion and then unselect particular subfolders. There's no file tree with a simple 'select all' where I can then unselect whatever things I want to back up. but when I specifically want to do exclusions, something you DO offer, it's like pulling teeth. I get that you guys are hardcore about the 'inclusion by default' approach to backing up, and that's fine. YMMV.Ģnd Edit: I'm going to go ahead and cancel.

I would've rather been doing other things than posting on Reddit in confusion. which essentially communicates that everything is backed up without any control by the user over what gets backed up, is a pretty rough onboarding experience.

having a backup dialog in which a folder tree is diplayed that doesn't let you expand a drive to make selections within the drive, and having a link next to that folder tree which says 'Explain how to select files for backup' and goes to this page. Surely I can select which data I want to backup and which data I do not.Įdit: I see now that I can exclude data I don't want to backup in the settings under 'Exclusions.' Great, that works. I'm already signed up and paid, and now I'm going to have to deal with customer support to unsubscribe and get a refund over this.
