I'm considering Restic and Backblaze B2 as my backup solution. I'm a little worried having read about the potential for unexpected restore costs. For example, I've read restoring lots of little files adds to the cost (reference). What are the things to look out for when backing up and restoring that can add to the cost? Are there any best practices to keep costs down?

Question: What does BackBlaze B2 give you that BackBlaze's personal account doesn't?

    To my knowledge:

    • File Versions only 30 days available.
    • -> Everything older and deleted than 30 days gone.
    • Slow and manual Restore Process
    • -> Web downloads max. 500 GB manual selection.

    B2 is data storage, Backblaze Personal is a service. 2 Completely different things.
