Example 1 - Deleted File with Forever Version History :Ī file, zebra.jpg, which is 200MB in size, was added to your computer on. *Billing Note*: The $0.006/GB/Month is continuously calculated based on the size of the files retained, but only charged upon renewal (for any outstanding balance) or if your accrued balance at the end of any month is at least $0.50. If you choose Forever, any files that have been updated, changed, or deleted from your computer or external hard drives will remain in your Backblaze backup indefinitely while this option is selected and your account is in good standing. Selecting forever requires that you pay the fixed fee for 1-Year Version History, and an additional $0.006/GB/Month for file versions that were updated, changed, or deleted longer than 1 year previous to the current date. The “Forever” setting of Version History is for users who wish to retain modified or deleted file versions beyond 1 year. However, the edited version created on of zebra.jpg will be available to recover for as long as it remains on your computer and your account is in good standing. If you edit zebra.jpg on and save the file again as zebra.jpg, you will still be able to recover the original zebra.jpg file from Backblaze until, after which point it will be removed from your Backblaze backup. As long as zebra.jpg continues to be on your computer, and your Backblaze account and backup are in good standing, that file will be available for recovery. Example 2: Changed File with 1-Year Version HistoryĪ file, zebra.jpg was added to your computer on. If you delete that file (zebra.jpg) on, and have Version History set to 1 year, you will be able to recover that deleted file from your Backblaze backup through, so long as your account remains in good standing.

If you choose “1-Year,” all versions of your files that are backed up-whether you've updated, changed, or fully deleted them from your computer-will remain in your Backblaze backup for 1 year after being modified or deleted from your device. If you delete that file (zebra.jpg) on, you will be able to recover that deleted file from your Backblaze backup through, after which point it will be removed from your Backblaze backup, and will no longer be available for recovery. If you would like versions of your modified or deleted files to never be removed from your backup, you can increase Version History to “Forever.” Example of how 30 Day Version History Works:Ī file, zebra.jpg was added to your computer on, and you have Version History set to 30 days. Increasing Version History to 1 year means that all versions of changed, updated, or deleted files will be available to restore for 1 year after they were changed, updated, or deleted. If you are running Backblaze Version 7.0 or later, you can increase your backup’s Version History from 30 days to “1-Year” (365 days) or “Forever” on the Overview page of your Backblaze account. Note: If you have data loss or computer failure, we highly recommend creating a restore immediately. After 30 days, the updated, changed, or deleted versions will be removed from your Backblaze backup, leaving only the most recent, current version of your files in your backup. This is known as Version History : If you delete a file by mistake, or save over a file by accident, you can recover the earlier versions, provided that you’re within the time period that we hold them for.īy default, Backblaze keeps a 30-day Version History of your files. If a backed-up file is modified or deleted, Backblaze will keep a copy of the pre-modification or pre-deletion file for a period of time before removing it from your backup in our data center. Have you ever deleted a file by mistake? Or wanted a previous version of a file that you saved over? Backblaze backs up the data files that are currently on your computer and selected external hard drives. In this FAQ we will sometimes refer to updating, changing, deleting, or editing a file as “modifying” that file. When an individual file is changed, updated, edited, or deleted, without the filename changing, a new version is created.
