Hello,

I know it is strictly related to selfhosting but I don’t have a reddit account so please bear with me. I’ve been using a Blackblaze B2 bucket as the storage for my restic backup for my whole homelab for a while and recently when reading from that bucket it is so so so so so so slow and unreliable (a lot of unexpected EOF and interruption). I’ve tested this on several machines (including a VPS on Hetzer) and I can access other sites just fine. Their status page says nothing and I wonder is it just me or do some of you also experience the same thing ?

Also any alternative recommendation is welcome but I can not selfhost my S3 at the moment :(

Thank you very much!

Edit: this is the log for my restic check --read-data (something similar on Hetzner VPS).

Edit: After a day my restic check --read-data finished with no data corruption but it took a lot of retrying, even 7 retries to read the correct data :/ So I guess it is a sign for me to move to somewhere else.
