Aah! The FUD herald, "The Register".
Who has even heard of "BackBlaze"?

It certainly hasn't done anything to my Mac and ability to back up.

lots of people. it's one of many backup services.

more importantly, the bug is not tied to backblaze.

how do you know?

what happens is the contents of the folder that's alphabetically first
at root level is deleted, which if it's not backblaze will be something
else, possibly something critical to the system.

Perhaps more troubling is that many Mac users will find the
".DocumentRevisions-V100" folder at the top their root drive. The
file includes data critical to autosave and version history
functionality, the deletion of which could result in various system
errors.

Thank you.

I almost didn't post this warning as I expected to be howled down by
Apple afficianados. The Register might enjoy publishing articles
high-lighting Apple problems but their joy doesn't matter to me. The
fact they catch these things fairly early does.

There are a lot of people in this news group using both Apple machines
and Adobe CC. It would be less than fair of me to hear of a problem of
this kind without giving everyone a warning.

why would apple fans bitch? it's adobe's bug, not apple's.

it's also been reported on many other sites than the register.

users with a case sensitive file system will have far bigger problems.

I wonder why it is that I need an administrator password to change this
directory, but Adobe does not.

Eric Stevens:

Because whoever is responsible for this problem is invisible and
anonymous, but you are the visible messenger, the easy one to blame.
Hell, for all I know you moonlight with Adobe and you *are* responsible
for this bug, and you posted out of guilt
