Julian Lemmerich<p>❗ PSA: If you're using <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BackblazeB2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BackblazeB2</span></a> cli for your backups ❗</p><p>In v3.18.0 (not even a major!) they switched all the camelCase flags to kebab-case.

Pat Patterson<p>Some time ago, I created a GitHub repo showing how to upload files from JS in the browser using the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BackblazeB2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BackblazeB2</span></a> Native API. I just updated the repo to show the same using S3 presigned URLs, with an explanation of the differences between the two: <a href="https://github.com/backblaze-b2-samples/b2-browser-upload" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/backblaze-b2-sample</span><span class="invisible">s/b2-browser-upload</span></a></p>

@mudkip Run some tests with B2 as main storage and see how the latency is. It might work out ok, depending on your cache hit ratio. Also, you can create a second account in a different region (US East?) and use cloud replication to backup main storage.
