Another option is the on-premises to cloud solution, in which the data is moved from a server, NAS or SAN, and the data can migrate through ‘optimized cloud pipes,’ or through “Backblaze’s 96TB Fireball rapid ingest device.” The last option is from tape media, either from a reel cassette or a cartridge, with the data going through a high speed direct connection.Īlso realize that data goes through simple internet transfers so files can get moved through existing internet connections, with the connection optimized through multi-threading.Īt the heart of this service is the IaaS which is S3-compatible and native APIs, SDKs, and CLI, and is also designed to be able to handle developer workloads. It can be done cloud to cloud, with movement of the data from your existing cloud service, for example Google Drive (opens in new tab), or Amazon S3 (opens in new tab), and then written to the Backblaze B2 server. Migrations to Backblaze B2 can be performed through a variety of different methods. Designed also to be ‘workflow friendly,’ as it can easily connect for NAS, SAN and MAM configurations.

It is also well suited for media as the files are always accessible, and not stored on tape or another offline solution with the inherent delays of getting the data accessed.

I upgraded to FreeNAS-11.1-U6 tonight, but I haven't yet re-enabled my sync task due to time constraints.(Image credit: Backblaze) Backblaze B2: Featuresīackblaze B2 is designed to be able to handle the storage of media as they claim to have “Millions of objects and petabytes of data.” It is designed for ease of setup and to be up and running in minutes.

#B2 backblaze update

My FreeNAS version is 11.1-RELEASE, I see a few Cloud Sync bugs in the changelogs since, sans any better options I may update and see if that helps at all.

If you have any questions about my setup, please let me know and I'll update my post with answers to your questions! Naturally I'd sit down and write this when I'm not actually in front of my FreeNAS box, I'm running FreeNAS 11.1 but I'm likely behind by an update or two. In setting up the Cloud Sync task, I didn't have any issues seeing and picking my B2 bucket, I figured if I'd entered my Cloud Credentials incorrectly that I wouldn't even see my bucket listed.Ĭan any of you provide some guidance on why I'd see the Backblaze daily Class C Transactions immediately hit its cap when executing my Cloud Sync task? Would that explain why I'm not seeing any data transferred to Backblaze B2? Because of this, I'm concerned there might be a problem with how I set up the Cloud Credentials in FreeNAS, although I'm skeptical of that. In looking at Backblaze's reporting, it seems the bulk of the Class C Transactions were split between b2_authorize_account and b2_create_bucket. Within seconds, I'd doubled my prior Class C transaction count, so I deleted the task and figured I'd spend some time to try and understand what I might've done incorrectly. Out of curiosity, I added my credit card and triggered the Cloud Sync task again.

I waited 20-30 minutes and checked on Backblaze and saw that I'd exceeded my Class C Transaction Cap for the day of 2500 free transactions. I manually kicked off my Cloud Sync task, but no files were ever transferred. I more-or-less mirrored what's described in the blog, except I used my own Backblaze Buckets and local paths from my FreeNAS Machine.

I saw that Backblaze posted a blog the other day, describing how to use the FreeNAS Cloud Sync to write data to Backblaze B2 ( ) and I was excited to try it out.
