Do you use zfs? Something that I am unsure if is whether people are making ZFS backups to backblaze, or if they're backing up files directly.
Ie: Do I need the same filesystem as the source in order to recover the data?
Personally I'm using
rclonewith thecryptbackend of top of the usualb2remoteI do use ZFS and I just backup the files with restic. To restore a file in a zfs snapshot I would have to download the entire thing to a spare HDD, even if I only need to recover a few files. Restic has snapshots too and is designed to be used with cloud providers like B2.
