And that may take some time! Also, I think you'll need at least ~45gb of free scratch space. But if even one byte is inserted somewhere, now suddenly all of the chunk boundaries have shifted and you have to back it all up again. So if Vercrypt (a) also encrypts by chunks and (b) only appends, it actually may work acceptably.
#BEST ENCRYPTOR WITH BACKBLAZE REDDIT UPDATE#
I assume if the contents inside a container change (I update the files inside of it) the whole encrypted file data will change, and I guess backblaze will have to reupload the whole thing.Ĥ5 GB shouldn't be a problem per se but may in practice.īackblaze deduplicates by chunks of data (I believe 10mb but I could be wrong). What would you say is the maximum acceptable size for one of these containers? Has anyone done something similar? I want to backup my files but would like to have it all encrypted, another possibility would be splitting up the largest folders. My idea is to create Veracrypt containers for each folder to have it organized, but I'm worried about having 50GB containers for backing them up and then restoring them (afaik backblaze needs temporal copies of all files, so that might be a bit overkill). These folders have sizes that range from 600MB to 45GB. I have all my photos in an hdd (also in Google photos for now) arranged in folders by years, as well as some other small documents. I'm interested in backing up my files with encryption and I've been using the free trial but I have some doubts.
