Hi: first time here and hope I'm in the right bit of the forum. I've done a few searches on this and there are a few hints of my problem but nothing clear. Happy to RTFM if I can find an M to R!
I've been using the B2 backup since about February this year and all has been well until a couple of months ago. I have suddenly started racking up huge Class C bills with literally millions of Class C transactions per day which has cost my business a lot of money.
Now this is partially my fault (no limit on Class C transactions for reasons I don't understand but that's down to me) and it came to light when I was going through my credit transactions which on this account I do quarterly - after all what could possibly go wrong!
Does anyone else have issues with huge amounts of Class C transactions? My number of files etc have been growing more or less linearly throughout the period (in fact the rate of growth has reduced somewhat) and there have been no other obvious changes. I have about 11TB stored in my FreenNAS bucket at about 6.2M files (my apps generate a lot of crap!). Meanwhile the Class C suddenly jumped by a factor of 315 in one month (three hundred and fifteen times bigger!) and the doubled again the next month.
I have one suspicion, I think (and I can't be 100% about the date) the huge jump in Class C coincides with me updating to 11.1-U6. I also switched on snapshots but am sure that was a long time before this issue started (but was after I started using B2).
For the meantime I have switched the cloud sync off but obviously that only leaves me with local backups which is not good. This seems to have stopped the massive volume of Class C transactions, which suggests FreeNAS is the issue. I've also emailed Backblaze to see if they have any ideas.
The local backups do not use any part of FreeNAS as I use an external app which just backups the files from an SMB mount so unlikely to be any weird interaction there.
Has anyone else had this behaviour in Class C transactions?
Can someone point me in the right direction to start solving this?
Happy to mess around on the command line, just not sure where to start looking! I used to administer an Ultrix 32 system but that was twenty years ago......
Thanks
