Depending on the number and size of the files you want to back up and your upload speed, this will take quite some time. When the analysis is complete make shoure the client performs the initial backup (this should happen automatically). You can dis- and reconnect from and to the VNC server at any time, this will not affect the Backblaze client. Once you hit “Ok” or “Apply” the client will start scanning your drives again, this might take a very long time depending on the number of files you mounted under the /data/ dir, just be patient and leave the container running. I’d also reccommend to remove the blacklisted file extensions from the “Exclusions” tab. You can also set a better name for your backup here, by default the rather obscure container id is used. To change that click the Settings button and check the box for the “D:” drive, this drive corresponds to the /data/ directory of your container. You will notice that currently only around 10 files are backed up. Once the Installer is finished the backblaze client should open automatically. Enter your password and hit “Install”, the installer will start scanning your drive. Just enter your backblaze account email into the white box and hit enter, then the you should see the rest of the ui. The installer might look a bit weird (all white) at the very beginning.

When you only see a black screen once you are connected press alt-tab to activate the installer window.

When starting the container for the first time, it will automatically initialize a new Wine prefix and download & run the backblaze installer. => If you want us to make a video about this, lets us know by filling contact us form <= Us WINE to allow Windows Backblaze App installation on the NAS (Linux).Link folders you will want to back up to the Docker environment.They use a combination of Docker + WINE to achieve this.
