I was just digging through some of my old photos today, and I wanted to share a story from 2013.   Hint, this story ends with Backblaze. Kind of ironic, backup... my home went aBlaze...    Me and my now wife, had bought and were living in a 3 story condominium, our unit was on the top floor.   You already know I'm a bit of a Geek, so I had quite a bit of tech in this condo, automated lights, security cameras, my own media server with multiple raid arrays, you know the usual geeky stuff.  I don't know about you guys but I like to keep all of my important info in digital format, 2FA stuff, important document scans, and passwords go into encrypted zip files, everything else like all of my DVD's and digital movie copies,  ripped CD's and other purchased mp3 files, all stored on my trusty home server with dual disk redundancy raid!    I was safe and protected from a drive loss...  Most of this data was stored on a drobo drive array....
