Just checked the Backblaze website where you can find the following page https://www.backblaze.com/computer-backup/docs/supported-bac... which says:

This article answers the question, "What does Backblaze back up?" Backblaze backs up all of your data across all of the user profiles that are on your computer as soon as you install the client.

Backblaze believes that you do not need to worry whether you selected all of the files that you care about, put any files in a different location on your computer, or added new files that may not be included in your online backup. Therefore, Backblaze automatically selects all of your data.

This is at best flat out wrong, at worst a blatant lie. But this was what I thought I was buying and paying for. Turns out you do have to worry!

Don't lie about other stuff you don't back up. Very disappointed in Backblaze.
