Are you sure? While the cloud backups may not affect you the exclusions might, afaict no one even knows what exactly is excluded.
From the link:
This annoyed me. Firstly I needed that folder and Backblaze had let me down. Secondly within the Backblaze preferences I could find no way to re-enable this. In fact looking at the list of exclusions I could find no mention of .git whatsoever.
Which strongly implies that there might be other important folders that aren't backed up.
(Without .git inside a git folder it is no longer a git repository)
I don't use backblaze but from the outside it looks like they're cutting costs by worsening the backups to reduce storage usage.
Well, normally I'd agree but in this case I'd guess that more people have watched the video than read the blog. That's the order in which I stumbled on it too.
Edit: Also:
I'm working more with older SBCs and microcontrollers now, and I think that's the direction many in the hobbyist space are going.
I used dawarich but switched to geopulse because dawarich broke too often on updates. I only rarely use it but it works well enough.
So now you have three options that you can compare, good luck?
