Anyone use Backblaze?

I'm trialling the personal backup, it's meant to be unlimited for $6 a month which seems excellent. However I'm finding it's not picking up my main backup, which is sitting on an external drive.

The file it's ingoring is a VHDX file sitting in I:\Main Data Backup, filename Mainbackup.vhdx. I noticed that the default exclusions meant that VHD and VHDX files would be ingored, so I removed these exclusions.

I can select the drive in the settings, and it picks it up, i.e. it shows selected for backup - 40587 files / 2,796,766MB, but it just ignores it when it performs the actual backup.

I can't find anything else in the settings or the online help other than those exclusions to suggest why it wouldn't back this up. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorted this myself. In case anyone is interested, it was runing out of space on the default temp folder. I had to assign a spare drive with plenty of space. Nothing to do with either the filetype or the fact it was an external drive!

Nah because rclone + gdrive is better.

Their second hand hardware is alright though.

I use Backblaze, works brilliantly. Highly recommend it.
