I actually emailed backblaze years ago about their supposedly unlimited consumer backup plan. Asked them if they would really allow me to dump into their systems dozens of terabytes of encrypted undeduplicable data. They responded that yes, they would. Still didn't believe them, these corporations never really mean it when they say unlimited. Plus they had no Linux software.

Considering the fact that most data heavy servers are llnux, that would be a pretty clever way of staying true to their word.
