Previously, many customers, MSPs and resellers couldn't use B2 because of the API issue.īefore last week's launch, it took work for a developer working with an S3 API to be able to use B2 Cloud Storage. B2 is for more intensive backup needs, such as server and NAS backups, and storage capabilities including hosting files and building applications. Its current backup-specific offerings are tailored to laptops and desktops. 'We have been at this for a very long time,' Budman said.īackblaze started as a consumer cloud backup company but built B2 in 2015 to support customers' other storage needs. Evolution of Backblaze leads to S3 compatibilityīackblaze, founded in 2007 and based in San Mateo, Calif., has more than an exabyte of data stored across all its products, which also include personal and business backup.

'B2 helps with all of that,' Budman said.

Backblaze has not given a specific date yet for general availability, but expects it soon.Īmid the coronavirus pandemic, companies have been forced into digital transformation and figuring out how to use off-site cloud storage and how to work remotely. While the specific origins you want to support are up to you, make sure the API for CORS support is set to either “S3” or “Both”.The Backblaze S3-compatible APIs for B2 Cloud Storage are in public beta. For example, if my endpoint is then the region is eu-central-003. The region is the bit in the endpoint URL after s3. Note that in Owncast you must enter the bucket name, the endpoint (with prepended) and the region. The bucket must be public ( Type: Public) else end users could not watch your stream. It has been suggested that you make sure you set your key setting of “Allow access to Bucket” to All. When creating your “Application Keys” keep in mind that the “Application Key ID” is the “Access Key” and the “Application Key” is the “Secret”. As of November 2020 Backblaze’s B2 is fully S3 compatible.ī2’s first 10G of storage is free, and the first 1G of download per day is free after that.
