From Device Management to Data Protection

Jamf gives you control over every Mac - but it doesn’t protect the data on them. Backblaze closes that gap without changing how your team works.

What Jamf Does Well

You’ve automated device management. Everything is controlled, consistent, and scalable.

  • Devices are provisioned automatically
  • Security policies are enforced across the fleet
  • Applications deploy without manual effort
  • Endpoints are managed through a single system

What’s Still Missing

Device control doesn’t equal data protection - and that gap creates real risk.

  • No visibility into whether devices are actually backed up
  • Data can be lost if devices are stolen, wiped, or fail
  • Offboarding requires manual backup or imaging workflows
  • Audits lack clear proof of endpoint data protection

Device management isn’t data protection. Backblaze makes it automatic.

Built for How Jamf Admins Actually Work

Everything you need to protect data at scale - without adding complexity, overhead, or new workflows.

See Backup Status Inside Jamf

Track backup status, size, and last backup date directly within Jamf using extension attributes. No switching dashboards or manually verifying devices - just clear visibility where you already work.

Deploy Without Touching a Device

Roll out backup silently across your fleet using Jamf policies. Devices install with preconfigured settings, no user prompts, and no manual intervention required.

Backup That Just Works

All user data is backed up automatically with no file size or type restrictions. Backblaze runs continuously in the background, so protection is always on without maintenance.

Built for Compliance and Control

Meet audit and retention requirements with Legal Hold and centralized admin restore control. With flat, predictable pricing, you get full protection without unexpected costs.

You don't have a lot of competition at my level. Most people just don't do the Mac stuff. The other options are just awful if you have a lot of Macs. Backblaze is pretty dependable, pretty easy to work with.

Why Jamf Teams Choose Backblaze Over Traditional Backup Tools

Most backup solutions add complexity, cost variability, and extra systems to manage. Backblaze is built to do the opposite - fit seamlessly into how Mac-first teams already operate.

Mac-Native

Backblaze is built specifically for macOS, not adapted as an afterthought. The lightweight native client runs reliably in the background without draining system resources or creating performance issues - something many cross-platform backup tools struggle to deliver.

Simple Pricing

Backup costs should be predictable. Backblaze uses flat, per-device pricing with unlimited storage included - no tiers, no overages, and no surprises at renewal. You always know what you’ll pay as your fleet scales.

No Complexity

Traditional backup tools introduce extra dashboards, infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance. Backblaze eliminates that overhead by delivering a set-it-and-forget-it experience - no servers to manage, no constant troubleshooting, and no added operational burden.

Jamf-Aligned

Backblaze works the way Jamf admins already work. It deploys silently through existing policies, runs automatically, and provides visibility without requiring a new system or workflow - so your team can manage backup without changing how they operate.
