Thank you for your feedback
You can prevent Backblaze Computer Backup from backing up on selected Wi-Fi networks by adding those networks to a block list. If you add a Wi-Fi network to the block list, some Backblaze data may still be transmitted, but Backblaze will not upload backup data while you are connected to that network.
Add a Network to the Block List
- Open the Backblaze Client Control Panel.
- Click Settings.
- Select the Performance tab.
- In the Wi-Fi network block list section, click Add....
Backblaze scans for and displays a list of all of the visible Wi-Fi networks. - Select the networks that you want to block.
- Click Add.
- Click Apply, and click OK.
You will no longer back up when you connect to that network.
Remove a Network from the Block List
- Open the Backblaze Client Control Panel.
- Click Settings.
- Select the Performance tab.
- In the Wi-Fi network block list section, select the network that you want to remove.
- Click Remove.
- Click Apply, and click OK.
You can now back up when you are connected to that network. - If network changes do not immediately take effect, pause your backup and click Backup Now.
