<i class="fa fa-fire"></i>Backblaze B2
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
B2 is [Backblaze's cloud storage system](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/).
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a b2 configuration. First run
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. You will
|
|
need your account number (a short hex number) and key (a long hex
|
|
number) which you can get from the b2 control panel.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
n/q> n
|
|
name> remote

|
|
[remote]
|
|
account = 123456789abc
|
|
key = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789

y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
See all buckets
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the bucket.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
|
`X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis` as milliseconds since 1970-01-01
|
|
in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as
|
|
a modified time.
|
|
|
|
Modified times are set on upload, read on download and shown in
|
|
listings. They are not used in syncing as unfortunately B2 doesn't
|
|
have an API method to set them independently of doing an upload.
|
|
|
|
### SHA1 checksums ###
|
|
|
|
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download,
|
|
but they aren't used for sync as they aren't compatible with the MD5
|
|
checksums rclone normally uses.
|
|
|
|
### Versions ###
|
|
|
|
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a [new version
|
|
of it](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html).
|
|
Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will still be
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
The old versions of files are visible in the B2 web interface, but not
|
|
via rclone yet.
|
|
|
|
Rclone doesn't provide any way of managing old versions (downloading
|
|
them or deleting them) at the moment. When you `purge` a bucket, all
|
|
the old versions will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
### Bugs ###
|
|
|
|
Note that when uploading a file, rclone has to make a temporary copy
|
|
of it in your temp filing system. This is due to a weakness in the B2
|
|
API which I'm hoping will be addressed soon.
|
|
|
|
### API ###
|
|
|
|
Here are [some notes I made on the backblaze
|
|
API](https://gist.github.com/ncw/166dabf352b399f1cc1c) while
|
|
integrating it with rclone which detail the changes I'd like to see.
|
|
With a couple of small tweaks Backblaze could enable rclone to not
|
|
make a temporary copy of all files and fully support modification
|
|
times.
