I plan to use b2 for backing up a nas as well. (FreeNAS 11.2 once it ships as it supports encryption) For the photos I think it works pretty well given the BS Photobucket pulled.

Electric heaters are pretty expensive source of heat. My thought with it being in the garage is I will use it pretty rarely, however over time I expect to have solar panels power my entire home with surplus so at that point I could run it for "Free" . Also this heater runs on 240 @ 30 amps which might make it kinda hard to just plug in unless your building management company is cool about running new electrical.

> set the temporary folder
If you open the Backblaze Control panel and find the “Settings...” button, on the first tab is “Temporary Scratch Drive” or something like that. You can set that to an external or internal drive other than “C:\” there. Hit “Pause” on the backup (if it is running). Make sure this folder is empty (while paused):
C:\ProgramData\Backblaze\bzdata\bzbackup\bzdatacenter\bzcurrentlargefile\
Then hit “Backup Now” or wait to let the backup resume.
Now, that will change where Backblaze makes a copy of large files it is about to backup, which is “temporary data”. However, there is some data which is not temporary (should only be 2-3 GBytes) where Backblaze remembers what has been backed up or not backed up. That cannot be moved. The way to make it smaller (the smallest it can be) is to uninstall, reinstall, and NOT use “Inherit Backup State”. It will repush all your files, in the process clearing the “history” of everything that has occurred which shrinks this folder to the theoretical minimum. It will then slowly grow from there to about 1 GByte over the first year of operation. Maybe 2 GBytes over 3 years, etc.
Another idea is to upgrade your internal SSD. The Samsung EVO series is ridiculously good, and a 256 GByte doubling of your capacity is $50 from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-250GB-Internal-MZ-76E250B-AM/dp/B07864WMK8/
Depending on your form factor, they go all the way down to $25 for a 256 GByte Kingston SSD. I would still recommend the “EVO” if you can afford it, they are fast and reliable.
