|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
B2 is [Backblaze's cloud storage system](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/).
|
||||
|
||||
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
||||
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of making a b2 configuration. First run
|
||||
|
||||
rclone config
|
||||
|
||||
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. You will
|
||||
need your account number (a short hex number) and key (a long hex
|
||||
number) which you can get from the b2 control panel.

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
||||
|
||||
See all buckets
|
||||
|
||||
rclone lsd remote:
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new bucket
|
||||
|
||||
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
|
||||
|
||||
List the contents of a bucket
|
||||
|
||||
rclone ls remote:bucket
|
||||
|
||||
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any
|
||||
excess files in the bucket.
|
||||
|
||||
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
|
||||
|
||||
### Application Keys ###
|
||||
|
||||
B2 supports multiple [Application Keys for different access permission
|
||||
to B2 Buckets](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/application_keys.html).
|
||||
|
||||
You can use these with rclone too.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow Backblaze's docs to create an Application Key with the required
|
||||
permission and add the `Application Key ID` as the `account` and the
|
||||
`Application Key` itself as the `key`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you must put the Application Key ID as the `account` - you
|
||||
can't use the master Account ID. If you try then B2 will return 401
|
||||
errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### --fast-list ###
|
||||
|
||||
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
|
||||
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
|
||||
docs](/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Modified time ###
|
||||
|
||||
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
||||
`X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis` as milliseconds since 1970-01-01
|
||||
in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as
|
||||
a modified time.
|
||||
|
||||
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in
|
||||
the case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In
|
||||
this case the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn't have an API
|
||||
method to set the modification time independent of doing an upload.
|
||||
|
||||
### SHA1 checksums ###
|
||||
|
||||
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and
|
||||
will be used in the syncing process.
|
||||
|
||||
Large files (bigger than the limit in `--b2-upload-cutoff`) which are
|
||||
uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the object as
|
||||
`X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1` as recommended by Backblaze.
|
||||
|
||||
For a large file to be uploaded with an SHA1 checksum, the source
|
||||
needs to support SHA1 checksums. The local disk supports SHA1
|
||||
checksums so large file transfers from local disk will have an SHA1.
|
||||
See [the overview](/overview/#features) for exactly which remotes
|
||||
support SHA1.
|
||||
|
||||
Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular `crypt` will upload
|
||||
large files without SHA1 checksums. This may be fixed in the future
|
||||
(see [#1767](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1767)).
|
||||
|
||||
Files sizes below `--b2-upload-cutoff` will always have an SHA1
|
||||
regardless of the source.
|
||||
|
||||
### Transfers ###
|
||||
|
||||
Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
|
||||
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equipped laptop the optimum
|
||||
setting is about `--transfers 32` though higher numbers may be used
|
||||
for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary
|
||||
depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want
|
||||
to load your computer, etc. The default of `--transfers 4` is
|
||||
definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that uploading big files (bigger than 200 MB by default) will use
|
||||
a 96 MB RAM buffer by default. There can be at most `--transfers` of
|
||||
these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory
|
||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
### Versions ###
|
||||
|
||||
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a [new version
|
||||
of it](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html).
|
||||
Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden
|
||||
and still be available. Conversely, you may opt in to a "hard delete"
|
||||
of files with the `--b2-hard-delete` flag which would permanently remove
|
||||
the file instead of hiding it.
|
||||
|
||||
Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the
|
||||
`--b2-versions` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the
|
||||
`rclone cleanup remote:bucket` command which will delete all the old
|
||||
versions of files, leaving the current ones intact. You can also
|
||||
supply a path and only old versions under that path will be deleted,
|
||||
eg `rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff`.
|
||||
|
||||
When you `purge` a bucket, the current and the old versions will be
|
||||
deleted then the bucket will be deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
However `delete` will cause the current versions of the files to
|
||||
become hidden old versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old
|
||||
version followed by a `cleanup` of the old versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Show current version and all the versions with `--b2-versions` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
|
||||
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
|
||||
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
|
||||
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieve an old version
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rclone -q --b2-versions copy b2:cleanup-test/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt /tmp
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
|
||||
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ncw ncw 16 Jul 2 17:46 /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Clean up all the old versions and show that they've gone.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rclone -q cleanup b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
|
||||
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
|
||||
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data usage ###
|
||||
|
||||
It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in different scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
All copy commands send the following 4 requests:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_authorize_account
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_create_bucket
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_list_buckets
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_list_file_names
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `b2_list_file_names` request will be sent once for every 1k files
|
||||
in the remote path, providing the checksum and modification time of
|
||||
the listed files. As of version 1.33 issue
|
||||
[#818](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/818) causes extra requests
|
||||
to be sent when using B2 with Crypt. When a copy operation does not
|
||||
require any files to be uploaded, no more requests will be sent.
|
||||
|
||||
Uploading files that do not require chunking, will send 2 requests per
|
||||
file upload:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_url
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Uploading files requiring chunking, will send 2 requests (one each to
|
||||
start and finish the upload) and another 2 requests for each chunk:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_start_large_file
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_part_url
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_part/
|
||||
/b2api/v1/b2_finish_large_file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Specific options ###
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
#### --b2-chunk-size valuee=SIZE ####
|
||||
|
||||
When uploading large files chunk the file into this size. Note that
|
||||
these chunks are buffered in memory and there might a maximum of
|
||||
`--transfers` chunks in progress at once. 5,000,000 Bytes is the
|
||||
minimim size (default 96M).
|
||||
|
||||
#### --b2-upload-cutoff=SIZE ####
|
||||
|
||||
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload (default 190.735 MiB == 200
|
||||
MB). Files above this size will be uploaded in chunks of
|
||||
`--b2-chunk-size`.
|
||||
|
||||
This value should be set no larger than 4.657GiB (== 5GB) as this is
|
||||
the largest file size that can be uploaded.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### --b2-test-mode=FLAG ####
|
||||
|
||||
This is for debugging purposes only.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting FLAG to one of the strings below will cause b2 to return
|
||||
specific errors for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
* `fail_some_uploads`
|
||||
* `expire_some_account_authorization_tokens`
|
||||
* `force_cap_exceeded`
|
||||
|
||||
These will be set in the `X-Bz-Test-Mode` header which is documented
|
||||
in the [b2 integrations
|
||||
checklist](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/integration_checklist.html).
|
||||
|
||||
#### --b2-versions ####
|
||||
|
||||
When set rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For example
|
||||
|
||||
Listing without `--b2-versions`
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And with
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
|
||||
9 one.txt
|
||||
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
|
||||
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
|
||||
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Showing that the current version is unchanged but older versions can
|
||||
be seen. These have the UTC date that they were uploaded to the
|
||||
server to the nearest millisecond appended to them.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that when using `--b2-versions` no file write operations are
|
||||
permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.
