Backup MEGA to Backblaze B2: Affordable Redundancy for Your Encrypted Cloud with RcloneView

MEGA offers 20 GB free with built-in encryption. But encryption doesn't protect against account lockouts or accidental deletion. A Backblaze B2 backup does.

MEGA is known for its zero-knowledge encryption and generous free tier. But relying on any single provider — even an encrypted one — is risky. What if your account is suspended? What if you accidentally delete a folder? Backblaze B2 at $0.006/GB/month gives you an affordable safety net. RcloneView connects both and automates the backup.

Why MEGA Users Need a Backup

• Account suspension risk — MEGA has strict terms. Violations can lock your entire account.
• No recycle bin for old deletions — MEGA's rubbish bin has storage limits and expiration.
• Storage downgrades — If your paid plan expires, excess data may become inaccessible.
• Independence — True data ownership means copies you control, not just one provider's promise.

Setup

Add MEGA

1. Click Add Remote → select MEGA.
2. Enter your MEGA email and password.
3. Save — your MEGA files are browsable.

Add Backblaze B2

1. Click Add Remote → select Backblaze B2 (or S3-compatible).
2. Enter your Application Key ID and Application Key.
3. Save.

Create the Backup

1. Create a Copy job: MEGA → B2 bucket.
2. Use Copy (not Sync) — this prevents B2 deletions when you remove MEGA files.
3. Run the initial backup.

Verify

Schedule

Set up daily incremental backups — only new/changed files transfer:

Cost Example

MEGA Storage	B2 Backup Cost/Month	B2 Backup Cost/Year
50 GB	$0.30	$3.60
200 GB	$1.20	$14.40
1 TB	$6.00	$72.00

A full terabyte backup for $6/month is insurance you can't argue with.

Getting Started

1. Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
2. Add MEGA and Backblaze B2 as remotes.
3. Copy, verify, schedule — and your MEGA data is doubly protected.
