Backblaze B2 is the gold standard for affordable, S3-compatible cloud backup

Rating: 10 out of 10

October 1, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Backblaze B2 to store backups for our Synology NAS devices. Ever since Backblaze B2 started to support the de-facto standard S3 protocol, it opened the service to more and more of our devices that need backups. We have moved our Backblaze B2 backup jobs to the S3-compatible platform and are going to be using B2 for years into the future.

Pros

Affordable online backups using redundant, inexpensive storage hardware
S3-compatible interface
Fast internet connectivity to data centers

Cons

My chief complaint about the former lack of S3 compatibility was resolved so I have no complaints now.
Please keep egress free!

Likelihood to Recommend

Backblaze B2 with S3 compatibility truly opened up the platform to more devices and a large ecosystem of S3-compatible software. The native B2 platform (without S3) wasn't so useful because it required us to use the proprietary Backblaze software which is not as good as a third-party, S3 solution like Syncovery or even the S3-compatible apps that are built into all NAS devices today.

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage - the Idiot Proof File BackUp Solution

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

September 4, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed an easy to use, always on back up solution. Many of our clients actually require that we have redundancy and protection plans in place in the event of an outage or memory loss and Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage was the solution we chose.

Pros

easy to use
works without you having to do anything
notifies you if there's a problem
easy to implement

Cons

costs just went up some
might be nice to get confirmation that it's working occasionally
nothing else

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a solution that's easy to use and dummy proof, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is it. We wanted an always on solution that would back up our files without us having to do any oversight or remembering to run the tool. This is exactly that.

Some of the best priced storage available

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Backblaze offers some of the cheapest storage available. I have over 2 terabytes of backups (excessive, I know!) which only cost me $10 as of last month. Extremely cost effective and allows us to store very old backups for a very cheap price. Their personal backup services are even cheaper, and has (at time of review) unlimited backup capacity.

Pros

File management
Pricing
Customer Service

Cons

File organization sometimes is a little confusing
Lots of emails, but I assume that's due to the alerts I have set up

Likelihood to Recommend

I would consider Backblaze as a second or a third tier backup solution. Not in terms of quality, but I'd recommend having at least one more backup saved somewhere else. And with the cost as low as theirs, Backblaze is the perfect solution. It also provides very friendly recovery options on both the personal and business side.
