I'm sorry if I missed something, but you twice paid for long subscriptions for a service that did not work for you? What made you choose the two year plan when trying it the second time? Why did you pick the two year option at all the first time before trying it?

I forgot it didn't work the last time, and I needed an offsite backup solution. I was optimistic that I could configure the right excludes so it would work, but the sys pref change made this impossible.

It takes a few weeks to upload everything, and by that time the trial has expired.

Upload time is very dependent on your ISP, not to mention your hardware. On the rare occasions that I generate 100+ GB of data that gets backed up, it takes Backblaze less than a day, but I have a 750/500Mbps connection, which certainly helps.

I'm stuck on 50mbps up.
