What Is Backblaze Business Backup?
Backblaze Business Backup protects your workstations, servers, NAS devices, and Veeam data by backing up critical data.
With Backblaze Business Backup for workstations, you can protect business data automatically on all employee workstations through a centrally managed admin console with unlimited, secure, cloud backup. Once deployed, lightweight, Java-free Mac and PC clients run quietly in the background—no system slow-downs or crashes. Options like Extended Version History allow you to retain files versions for one year or forever, and you can choose from a number of restore options. If you’re looking for a CrashPlan replacement to back up all employee computers, start your free trial here. But, that’s not all you can do with Backblaze Business Backup…
Back up your Windows, Mac, Linux, SQL, and Exchange servers in a matter of minutes by using our streamlined joint solution with MSP360 or one of many other integrations. Data is always hot, with no nearline or offline delays, and storage is only $5/TB per month and $0.01/GB for downloads.
Using native integrations from Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, and more, you can easily back up and sync your NAS data. Backblaze NAS backup is built to be reliable and easily accessible for immediate downloads—backed by SLA and affordable at $5/TB per month with no minimum storage and retention requirements.
Veeam integrates seamlessly with Backblaze, so you can tier your backups directly into cloud storage with no interruptions to your workflow. Protect your data from ransomware attacks with immutability via Object Lock. And achieve 3-2-1 compliance or offload your restore points to the cloud and free up space on your server. All backup jobs and restores occur directly within Veeam Backup & Replication.
