Backblaze for Windows Server
-
I am helping a former customer clean up some IT related matters this week. Looking up Backblaze to backup their server. I have never used it but have seen it mentioned here often.
Is the B2 product the one we would use with the server edition? And are there any other cloud backup products out there I should consider?
They currently have a Windows Server 2012 R2 install but we were also discussing going to Linux.

yes, check the integration partners product list
other providers I'm aware of are not as competitive as. -
Yup, B2 is for servers.

they do not, it's just the cloud storage. Someone like CloudBerry makes the tools. Or veeam.

Is there an app for Windows/Linux servers from Backblaze themselves?

If you were using Linux, restic can backup to B2

Their Windows product is $120. 50% price premium tax for using an OS that guarantees to them that you have deep pockets for the workload.

I would like to reload them, I am just not sure what distro I would want to use. Prefer RHE but no time to purchase as I will be gone after Friday, and no media.

@bigbear - Duplicati is a free option for backing up to B2. I have not personally used it with B2 but seems to be very flexible with various storage platforms.
