That would be an interesting experiment, but also an expensive one because B2 charges for downloads. Maybe I should copy a ton of crap into one of the dormant accounts to create a big backup file, change it a little every day, let it copy over to B2 every night, and try restoring it a few times. But I've never tested it by restoring from one of the backups. (The backup for the largest account on that server, on the other hand, weighs in at about 27 GB.) That being said, the copy process itself seems to be flawless. I have a couple of obsolete accounts on that server that I could use as tests, but they're very, very small, so it wouldn't be a valid test.

There's no cPanel integration doing it this way, of course, and I haven't tried to restore from one of the backups. I also have the datacenter taking snapshots every night (in addition to whatever other backups they do), so the copies stored on Backblaze B2 are tertiary backups.

I just copy the contents of the /backup directory every night. I've been doing it with rclone on one of my servers, but only as a doomsday backup.
