    Yeah, personally I’m optimistic, but I’d be in a boat of expecting access to be shut off one day, and ready to start uploading to a new provider at any moment

    • I’m only concerned insofar as I don’t know of a good alternative, and really don’t want to spend the time shifting everything to a new system. I have 3 VPSes and 4(? 5?) home computers backing up to B2. The major ones, I have also backing up to disk, so really the risk for me is in that gap period while I find and set up on a new backup service.

      This will be beyond annoying, but for me not catastrophic. Mainly, I’ve liked B2 - the price, and how easy it’s been to use. I understand the UI; it’s pretty straightforward, and it’s directly supported by a lot of software. It would be a real shame if it went under due to mismanagement.

      Also: another example supporting my theory that one of the major flaws in Capitalism is public trading markets. This shit wasn’t an issue before they went public.
