If you can spool the backup files to a local disk and then push them up to b2 / wasabi / s3 / azure / google cloud you can swap as needed for experimentation. That type of incremental + regular full backups is quite common - we were doing it with tape for decades and it works well to balance total data written (tapes used / cloud $ consumed) vs files needed to do a full restore. This is not so useful for your use case but someone else might find it useful. But this is just for few tens of GB, not many people will be in this situation. Your credit card isn't charged until then. If your monthly bill is like 0.1$ after 5 months you pay 0.5$. Good thing about B2Cloud is that you pay per GB, minimum amount that is payed is 0.5$. I never hit those limits, so for now I just pay for storage itself.

For the ones that are not free, there is certain daily or monthly amount that is free after which something must be payed. In B2Cloud, there are transactions that are free and that are not free. average size of files between 3 and 6 MB.Files are added irregularly, only few or quite a lot, once a month or nothing for months. Files are backed from TrueNAS to Backblaze, so I am using B2Cloud. I am backing up my personal files, there are no big files at all. my veeam generate artificial full backup files every week, I have the 'pleasure' of deleting basically everything and re uploading everything once a week - so I was hoping b2 would have more bandwidth for me. Its the pricing part I am mostly curious about since its very hard to do a real calculation, since its based on transactions + total storage - and who knows how many transactions will be generated for the files I have in my nas.Īt the moment I am using - which is great, except the upload speed is kind of slow - I only get around 15MB/s at best and some times as low as 5-6MB/s - and since my data is changing 100% every week, i.e. So I wonder if anyone here have experience with B2 and can provide real statistics of the following sort: multi gigabyte files - some bigger than 150GB. I am considering trying BackBlaze B2 for storing my veeam compressed backup files, i.e.
