Backblaze B2

SQL Backup Master supports the use of Backblaze B2 for database backup storage through their S3 compatible service endpoint.

To use Backblaze B2 as a backup destination, you must have a Backblaze B2 service account. If you don't already have an account, you can visit their website in order to create one.

To create a Backblaze B2 backup destination within SQL Backup Master, click the Add toolbar button in the Destinations section of the Database Backup Editor window. When prompted to choose a destination, select Backblaze B2 (S3) and click the Select button.

Authentication

Authentication requires an application key, which you can create in the Application Keys area of your Backblaze admin console. Enter the keyID value into the Access key field, and the applicationKey value into the Secret key field.

Service Address

The Backblaze B2 backup destination requires the entry of an S3 service endpoint.

To find the S3 Endpoint for your account, navigate to the Buckets page of your Backblaze account. In the area for your bucket, you’ll see the S3 Endpoint listed.

For more information, see the S3 Compatible Overview help topic.

Important: Backblaze B2 buckets created prior to May 4th, 2020 are not S3 compatible and cannot be used with this backup destination. If needed, create a new bucket for use with SQL Backup Master.

Configuration

Please see the Amazon S3 help topic for discussion of the remaining configuration options.
