Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is an S3-compatible cloud object storage platform designed to give businesses a powerful, affordable alternative to legacy cloud storage providers like AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage. At a starting price of $6 per terabyte per month — roughly one-fifth the cost of comparable enterprise offerings — it delivers reliable, high-performance object storage with free egress up to three times the monthly storage amount, making it especially attractive for organizations managing large volumes of data without wanting to absorb unpredictable bandwidth fees. The platform supports a broad range of capabilities including automatic and continuous backup, backup scheduling, incremental and differential backups, encryption, role-based access controls, data replication, ransomware protection, and disaster recovery, all accessible via a clean web interface or through its robust API and extensive ecosystem of over 80 technology integrations, including Cloudflare, Arq, Veeam, MSP360, and Comet Backup. Backblaze B2 is particularly well suited for small businesses and IT teams, though it also serves mid-market and enterprise organizations across industries like information technology, computer software, marketing, and creative services, with heavy adoption among photographers, videographers, graphic designers, and developers who need scalable, cost-effective storage for large media libraries or application data. Key use cases include offsite backup and disaster recovery, media archiving, server backup, content distribution, and cloud-native application storage, with the platform helping teams break free from overpriced or restrictive incumbent providers while maintaining strong security through SSL transfers, two-factor authentication, and private encryption key support.
