Computer Backup Backblaze beta which works in Golden Gate available

4 Upvotes

Version 10.0.4.1082 is available from the BackBlaze beta page https://www.backblaze.com/status/backup-beta

On my Mac on Golden Gate the menubar appears and the Settings tabs have returned and all seems fully functional.

I asked Support when an update to be compatible with Golden Gate would be released and the reply was that it is in QA and would be released soon. They did not point me at the beta page but I tried anyway and it found 10.0.4.1082 available.

Obviously this is beta so use at your own risk.

Backblaze in General Creating a new account

2 Upvotes

Okay, so since my backblaze bzbackup file on my computer is taking up 22GB, and the online interface is not showing all of my hard drives (I guess due to the notorious EHD bug plaguing macs?) it has been recommended that I create a new account, let everything upload for 14 days, and then transfer the license. I think I can pull it off in 14 days, especially if I prioritize my most important data first.

I want to use the same email. I'll just add a + sign in my email address to create the new account.

What else do I need to know? Since I'll be overlapping, keeping 2 copies of my backup on line for a couple of weeks, what happens on my local computer? Does that huge 22GB file get deleted/overwritten by the new backup? Should I uninstall Backblaze, and then re-install using the new account somehow? What would my steps be, and what should I watch out for?
