Is Backblaze a reliable provider? (infosec.pub)

Hi everyone,

I've started pushing backups of media important to me (family pictures, video etc) to backblaze with client-side encryption.

However, are they a reliable storage provider? I can't help but compare them to something like Amazon who likely has a better chance of maintaining my files but they are so expensive that I don't even bother.

What do you think? Yes, I've heard of 3-2-1, however for now I only have backblaze and a local backup. I'm trying not to spend too much on this.

Thanks!

For my use, it actually cost less to use B2 than the home backup product. The bulk of my data is Linux isos so I'm not really worried about losing it.
