I can see it in my task manager, the download activity spikes to 500Mbps maybe for 5 minutes, and it goes silent. This is completely random, but in 10 to 30 minutes, it is guaranteed to hang. Problem 2 : the downloader eventually stops downloading when downloading a big file. I knew it was working because I am a software developer and I can see that it's downloading stuff on disk but it's still bad. This is just poor programming and bad UX. As in, it stops responding to UI events, and Windows thinks it's dead.
Problem 1: the backblaze downloader UI (Windows) just hangs randomly. The real upsetting part is that Backblaze backend is totally capable of delivering 500Mbps (my internet speed) but the client falls short big time.
If it actually worked, it would have taken less than 4 hours to download it. I split them into 2 parts, 200 and 280GB each.īackblaze downloader it took me maybe 5 days in total to get the files. I noticed that there is a restriction that the a restore has to be less than 300GB. Since I had a fast internet, I figured, I'll get it from the website. At the end of the post, I will give out some suggestions to Backblaze to improve this. I had about 500 GB of data to be restored. At the end, I am glad that I was able to restore my files but it took an enormous amount of effort. Just wanted to share my frustrating experience with restoring a backblaze backup.
