      Article Summary

      You can send files from Backblaze Personal Backup and Backblaze Business Backup to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.

      Your files are stored securely in your private Backblaze B2 account as a decrypted .zip Snapshot until you delete the Snapshot from Backblaze B2.

      The maximum Snapshot size is 10 TB. Additionally, if you already enabled Backblaze B2, any caps or limits that you set also apply.
