To be clear, you don’t pay that additional $0.005/GB for all files older than a year just files that were deleted or overwritten more than a year ago. You can extend this 30 day version history to a year for an additional $2/month on your backup subscription, or even forever, for the same additional monthly charge plus $0.005/GB to cover files older than a year. This gives you 30 days to restore your data in case of accidental or malicious deletion. When files are deleted, overwritten, or otherwise removed from your computer (see the paragraph on external drives, near the end!), we keep the previous versions for 30 days and then delete them from our servers. The backup app, running on your computer, uploads new and changed files to the Backblaze servers. Note that all of the following applies to Backblaze Personal / Business Backup and not Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage. Here’s my attempt to explain how version history works, in a clear, concise manner.
That’s absolutely not the case– your most recent backup is never deleted as long as your Backblaze subscription is current. It’s not uncommon to see people asserting some variation of “if you have a disaster, you have 30 days to restore your files or Backblaze will delete them”.
