    Easy Deployment Is Overshadowed By Slowness Handling Extensive Backup Storage

    3.0
    Sep 8, 2025
    In our case, the product worked properly until we increased the amount of data we stored, in our case backups (around 36TB). The setup and deployment are easy to do, but after some time as we increased the amount of data, we started to have gransfer issues, and the management tools (like the file explorer), became very slow as they were not prepared for the volume of files.

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Likes & Dislikes

Like

Reliability and uptime has and continues to be excellent. I have been fortunate, as a contractor, to worked in several companies that have trusted BackBlaze for their Very Important Paperwork. The ability to secure documents quickly and easily, and retrieve them with the same ease, is something you really don't understand the value of until you have a CEO standing at your shoulder asking you for something. BackBlaze stands up to that challenge with ease.

Whe the volum of information and the number of files grows a lot (in our case over 25TB), the service causes problems. We've suffered transfer issues and browsing problems within the file repositories (S3 buckets in our case).
