      s 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?

      yes, check the integration partners product list
      other providers I'm aware of are not as competitive as.

      So they dont include a Windows Server backup tool, you have to select/purchase a partner tool?

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

      AAAhhhhhh

      So what then do you recommend? lol

      Use CloudBerry, Veeam, your own script, anything you want.

      Any idea what they charge for Cloudberry per month for their managed backup product. Single server?

      I dislike calling for pricing 💊

        Yup, B2 is for servers.

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

        If you were using Linux, restic can backup to B2

            The product you'd want, Linux to B2 backup tool, is $80.

                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.

                                AAAhhhhhh

                                So what then do you recommend? lol

                                Use CloudBerry, Veeam, your own script, anything you want.

                                Any idea what they charge for Cloudberry per month for their managed backup product. Single server?

                                I dislike calling for pricing 💊

                                The product you'd want, Linux to B2 backup tool, is $80.

                                Were you referring to a Veeam product or Cloudberry?

                                CloudBerry

                                Arent you a big Veeam fan? Any recommendation as such?

                                  @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.

                                  https://www.backblaze.com/blog/duplicati-backups-cloud-storage/

                                  I do use duplicati with B2 for it's target storage. Works great.

                                  What type of file server are you running?

                                  It's NextCloud on my home lab box. So really... nothing. Maybe 500MB worth of things to actually back up.

                                      You can use it as the only on-premise file server if you want. Everything can access it via webdav now, and you can tie it into any AD or OpenLDAP domains already on site. Just makes end-user life that much easier. If setup properly, it's always accessible via a website anyway. The sync client is really the most painful way to access it, honestly.

                                        So you can use it as a NAS/File Server and it does file locking etc like a windows file server?

                                            And by file locking I just mean basic "this file is in use by XX user, the basic SMB stuff)
