FAQ

How can Backblaze protect my government data from ransomware?

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage supports object lock in coordination with many of our integration partners, including MSP360, Veeam, Catalogic, and more. Object lock prevents your data from being deleted, encrypted, or modified for the length of time you set. It takes literally one click to enable object lock on your B2 bucket.

Can Backblaze help us support our HIPAA compliance requirements?

Yes. Backblaze can provide a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) upon request for business customers who are Covered Entities under HIPAA. A BAA establishes the responsibilities of Backblaze as a business associate when handling protected health information (PHI) on your behalf.

How does Backblaze compare to AWS?

Backblaze B2 offers you highly performant, S3 compatible cloud object storage priced at about one-fifth the cost of Amazon S3 Standard, and includes free egress up to 3x monthly storage. And unlike Amazon's Glacier tiers, you'll enjoy always-hot access with no costly retrieval times and fees, minimum storage duration fees, and other add-on expenses. The Backblaze B2 platform is also tech stack agnostic to support your preferred media production workflows. Many media teams have found they can do more for less with Backblaze B2.

What additional fees should I expect?

Backblaze has no hidden fees. There is only one tier of hot storage with free download up to 3x your data stored and there is no minimum storage duration requirement, no minimum file size requirement, and no charge for using Object Lock for ransomware protection.

How do I integrate Backblaze with my current backup software?

Backblaze easily integrates with its S3 compatible API. You simply create an application key in the Backblaze web application and then add Backblaze B2 as a storage destination in your backup software.
