You are only 3 steps away from sending your SQL Server backups to B2 Cloud Storage.

Object and File Storage Backblaze B2 is enterprise-grade, S3 compatible storage that companies around the world use to store and serve data while improving their cloud OpEx vs. Amazon S3 and others. Developers use it to easily build apps and manage services. IT leaders use it to backup their organizations with management ease and reliability.

  1. B2 isn't really a solution for people that are looking for a robust computer backup service like Backblaze currently offers for Mac and Windows. I went down that road and ended up very frustrated. I ended up buying a Synology NAS (which does offer the same computer backup features + revisioning and all that), and then syncing the backup out to B2.
  2. Seamlessly tier your Veeam backups into Backblaze B2 with Cloud Tier. No interruptions to your workflow as all backup jobs and restores occur directly within Veeam Backup & Replication.
  3. Currently the new backup system is BETA only. To activate backups 2.0 head to your servers page and click on the name of the server you wish to activate it on. Warning: This will disable Borg and purge all existing Borg backups from your system. You are responsible for.
