Security

Backblaze safeguards your data to ensure the highest level of protection for your valuable files.

Redundancy

When you upload data to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, your data is stored in a Backblaze Vault. Each file that you upload is stored redundantly across multiple drives, in multiple servers, and in multiple locations in our data center.

Server-Side Encryption

Server-side encryption protects your data by encrypting it before it is stored on disk by Backblaze B2. You can enable server-side encryption on Backblaze B2 buckets.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) Encryption

All files are transmitted using an encrypted TLS connection. You are encouraged to add your own encryption to your files before transmitting them to Backblaze B2. For an example on GitHub, click here.

Data Centers

Backblaze has multiple data centers. Three of them are located in the United States (two on the West Coast and one on the East Coast). In 2019, we opened our first EU data center. 

Backblaze is committed to adding more data centers and regions over time.
