But even then I won't know if/which of my data was corrupted. So my only option is to do a full hard drive restore, costing $189 + customs in Europe, so at the end probably closer to 300€. I also can't download a full backup since Backblaze only allows downloads of up to 500GB at once.

The only official solution is to manually check all files (millions in my case). It's possible that some data might be missing - Backblaze doesn't tell me though.

Backblaze will not tell me the actual cause of this inconsistency. I just got a 'Safety Freeze' error - essentially some inconsistency with my backup. You know how everyone keeps telling you, a backup is only a true backup once you've done at least one restore? Now I know why (silly me). Now you can create a backup and send it to B2 right away (“Run Now”) or schedule it to be started automatically: Optionally, you can also setup email confirmations on successful/failed backups.I've been using Backblaze for a few years for my home computer. Then go to the “Buckets” section and click the “Show Account ID and Application Key” link to get necessary information: 3.

If you don’t have a B2 account you can sign up here. Select Backblaze B2 from the list of backup destinations: Connect SQLBackupAndFTP to your SQL Serverĭownload SQLBackupAndFTP, start the application, and connect it to your SQL Server: You are only 3 steps away from sending your SQL Server backups to B2 Cloud Storage. This is about 3 times cheaper than to store in Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.
