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!

Any provider outside of the 5 eyes

there's also the 14 eyes, when you consider this, you don't even want to do or put anything online as everyone and everything wants to violate you for some profit

i'm now considering South America and Russian services as alternatives, but of course I'll be encrypting my data before it leaves my device
