Remote backups with Backblaze B2

timbr

The roadmap states "S3 (and compatible) backup target". In some ways B2 is S3 compatible, but in many it is not. Backblaze B2 is a much more affordable place to store backups. They are big, reliable and have a solid API. I'd love to see B2 support be treated as important as S3 support.

We've used B2 extensively with backup applications which advertises as "S3 Compatible" like JetBackup and it worked fine.

One important thing to note is that B2's overall performance is nowhere near some other S3 players like Wasabi so you may encounter problems and errors if you backup a large amount of data within a short period of time.
