All my B2 backups just decided to stop functioning properly. They worked a few days ago, then I noticed the recent runs had failed. I tried running them manually and they mostly failed, but one worked. If I manually run the job multiple times in a row it eventually works. That’s not very acceptable for something that should be automatic and fully in the background. Logs contain:

Which doesn’t make any sense, because back blaze isn’t down, its DNS records are perfectly fine.

This is such a frustrating piece of software. Every time I think things are working and I’m ready to install on my other machines, 2 days go by and some new problem appears. CrashPlan was such a simple, seamless, and reliable experience ![]()
