Why should I trust Backblaze with my data?

Backblaze safeguards exabytes of customer data for respected organizations worldwide. Since 2007, we’ve been known for transparent business practices—from sharing industry-improving data to operating as a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: BLZE). Our solutions are easy to adopt, easy to manage, and straightforward to price.

How does Backblaze support sustainability?

Storing and using data is energy intensive–there’s just no way around this fact. However, by centralizing and optimizing data storage within our network of data centers, the Backblaze Storage Cloud operates more efficiently than distributed, on-premises systems storing the same volume of data. That said, the company understands that there is still more work to be done and is committed to a more sustainable future. Backblaze is acting accordingly to do its part and help B2 Cloud Storage customers reduce their carbon footprints and progress on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. Backblaze from its beginnings focused on building a sustainable business. We lead the industry with our learning—for more than 10 years, sharing data and insights from more than 200,000 spinning drives to help others globally to do better. Additionally, we’ve operationalized impact reduction, from supporting data lifecycle rules to help customers store selectively and thereby manage down energy consumption, to recycling decommissioned hardware including drives, to moving into our Stockton1 data center for river cooling, no water consumption, no water pollution, no chemical use, and projected carbon footprint approximately 30% below average.

What sets Backblaze apart from other providers?

Backblaze is the object storage layer powering AI infrastructure. We've been building and operating storage since 2007—not reselling it. Our platform delivers the throughput AI workloads demand, at a fraction of hyperscaler cost, without lock-in. 500,000+ customers trust us because we're transparent about our business, our pricing, and our performance data. That's rare in this industry.

How safe is my data when stored in Backblaze?

Your data is protected by infrastructure designed for 11 nines of durability, enterprise-grade access controls, and 24/7 physical security. We've earned certifications including SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001. Visit our Security and Compliance pages to explore the full range of features available to support your specific needs.

How does Backblaze's 3x free egress work?

All B2 Cloud Storage users get free egress up to 3x their average monthly storage. Your monthly average is calculated based on byte hours over the billing cycle. Egress beyond 3x is just $0.01/GB—no surprise fees, no penalties. B2 Overdrive also provides unlimited free egress to any destination in the world.
