While we can configure our backup jobs in a particular fashion to eliminate operations such as synthetic fulls and transforms which are not object storage friendly, it is just simply not a very eloquent solution.Ĭurrently, the best option for sending large amounts of Veeam backups data into cloud object storage is still using a VTL cloud gateway device. At this stage though, I am not aware of any VTL devices compatible with B2.ĭealing with object storage can be quite tricky with Veeam, it must be noted that this not a problem of the object storage but because of the way Veeam writes files and handles its files. For larger businesses, I would only consider a VTL cloud gateway device that can leverage B2 for the backend storage.
Other options I would consider would involve leveraging CloudBerry for small to medium businesses and even GoodSync for smaller mom and pop style shops for sending Veeam backups into B2. In the case of Veeam, this means we need to rely on a ‘cloud gateway’ which there are several options available that are compatible with B2, in this particular article, I have explored configuring a Synology DS1812 with the CloudSync package.
So Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, in a nutshell, it works similar to Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure, allowing us to store vast quantities of data in the cloud but does it for 1/4th the cost of your typical object storage provider.īecause B2 doesn’t include any client software to interface with any time we access the storage we need to use either the web GUI, API or CLI.
