FAQ

Does Backblaze B2 offer lower cost storage tiers for archived surveillance data?

Backblaze B2 offers a single tier of pricing—it’s always-hot storage at cold storage pricing. This means you can store your data in Backblaze B2 instead of an alternative like Amazon S3 Glacier knowing that you’ll be able to access the data at any time with no cold delays or need to manage and optimize across different services and tiers. 

Our data is always growing due to high resolution cameras and increased surveillance footage captured. How can we be sure our cloud storage bill will meet our tight budget needs?

Backblaze B2 is highly performant cloud storage priced at one-fifth the cost of AWS. Unlike other cloud storage providers, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is also free of add-on fees like minimum storage duration requirements (which can result in you paying for data storage long after you have overwritten or deleted files) or Object Lock service charges. Costs are affordable and transparent so you can store your data for as long as needed.

We have a lot of NAS/NVR/CCTV surveillance data on-premises. Is there an easy way to move all that into the cloud?

Backblaze’s Universal Data Migration service can handle inbound data migration from practically any legacy on-premises or cloud storage source—including servers, NAS, SAN, tape, public clouds, and cloud drives. What’s more, with committed contracts >50TB and all B2 Reserve bundles, Backblaze will cover data transfer costs and legacy provider egress fees in all but a few exceptions.

Can Backblaze help us support our compliance requirements?

Backblaze is compliance friendly, with the ability to provide Business Associate Agreements (BBAs) for covered entities to assist with compliance compatibility. Additionally, our US East Region is HIPAA/HITECH compliant as well as third-party NIST 800-53 attested.

How does Backblaze help protect data security?

Backblaze B2 safeguards your data with industry-standard security measures, including two-factor authentication, server-side encryption (SSE), access management controls, and Bucket Access Logs. Built for 11 nines of durability, Backblaze B2 stores your data securely in SOC 2-compliant data centers, giving you full control over your storage at all times.

What's the difference between a cloud and an on-premise system?

An on-premise system stores data on hardware located and managed within your own facility, giving you full control but requiring significant upfront costs and ongoing maintenance. A cloud system stores data on remote servers owned and managed by a third-party provider, offering scalability, lower upfront costs, and accessibility from anywhere, with the provider handling maintenance and security.

Will Backblaze B2 work with my current video management system (VMS)?

Yes, Backblaze B2 is highly compatible. It offers an S3-compatible API, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with most video management systems (VMS) and other software or hardware tools that support the S3 standard. Many VMS solutions are designed to work with S3-compatible storage, making integration straightforward.
