Summary

  • Velero default 1-minute backupSyncPeriod and storeValidationFrequency were generating ~3000-5000 Class C transactions/day against Backblaze B2
  • This triggered the 75% daily cap alert from Backblaze
  • Set both to 30m — more than adequate for a homelab with a single daily backup
  • Also identified a sync loop bug where transient K8s API timeouts caused repeated re-syncs of the same backup (370 times/24h), which the reduced frequency will mitigate

Test plan

  • ArgoCD syncs Velero with new values
  • Verify Velero logs show 30m sync interval
  • Monitor Backblaze Class C usage over next 24h — should drop to ~100-200/day

Velero's default 1-minute backupSyncPeriod and storeValidationFrequency
were generating ~3000-5000 Class C transactions/day against Backblaze B2,
hitting the 75% daily cap alert. Set both to 30m which is more than
adequate for a homelab with a single daily backup schedule.
