description Cloud Native Backup Tools (e.g., Backblaze B2) Overview
These tools focus on using commodity, highly durable object storage (like Backblaze B2 or Wasabi) for long-term, cost-effective data retention. While not true 'replication' for immediate failover, they are critical for meeting long-term compliance and archival RPOs where immediate recovery is less critical than cost savings. They are the backbone of the '3-2-1' rule.
help Cloud Native Backup Tools (e.g., Backblaze B2) FAQ
Can Veeam write backups directly to Backblaze B2?
Yes. Veeam Backup & Replication 12 introduced direct-to-object backup support, and B2 can also serve as object storage in a Scale-Out Backup Repository.
Does Backblaze B2 support immutable Veeam backups?
Yes. Backblaze B2 supports S3 Object Lock and is certified as Veeam Ready for object storage with immutability, provided the bucket and Veeam repository are configured correctly.
Can Backblaze B2 replace Veeam replication for immediate failover?
Not by itself. Object storage preserves backup data for restoration, while Veeam replication maintains a ready virtual-machine replica intended for a much faster failover workflow.
How do Backblaze B2 and Wasabi differ from AWS S3 for Veeam archives?
All three can provide S3-compatible or native object-storage targets, but their storage, download, API, and minimum-retention charges differ. The correct comparison must include expected restores and retention periods, not only the advertised price per terabyte.
