## Common questions

### How do I interact with the Backblaze Personal Backup client in this Docker container?

The container starts a virtual X server and a VNC server with a Web GUI. That lets you interact with the Backblaze client through a web-based VNC interface.

### What should I be careful about when mounting the directories I want to back up?

The container is designed to have read/write access to the data you are trying to back up. If you make a grave mistake during setup, you could delete stuff.

### What if the storage I want to back up has a complex permissions setup?

If the filesystem being backed up has a complex permissions setup, you will need good knowledge of Docker to get the container set up correctly.

### Does Backblaze Personal Backup support backing up NAS or home-server storage?

Backblaze runs on a Mac or Windows PC and can back up external storage. The unlimited per-device plan is tied to data physically attached.
