Backblaze

📣 @backblaze is entering the annals of computer history. 💪🔥 Today we announced @ComputerHistory has added one of the original Storage Pod 1.0 pods to its permanent collection. I write about that journey: Backblaze, Part of Computer History post.dsmn8.com/-M8tn1hwsy

From late nights and bold bets to museum-worthy hardware. Our original Storage Pod didn’t just store data—it helped democratize access to cloud infrastructure and inspired an open hardware movement that’s still evolving today. Now it gets a well-earned retirement at the Computer History Museum. Read the full story 🔥➡️ hubs.ly/Q0496npT0

Today is #WorldBackupDay. This is your reminder, If your recovery plan isn't built on a foundation of secure, tamper-proof #CloudStorage, your business-critical assets are still vulnerable.

Backup Exec EOS is here: March 31, 2026. ⏳ Still running it? Now’s the time to move—before you’re forced to. Backblaze B2 = ✔ No rip & replace ✔ Tape → cloud ✔ Simple pricing 👉 Talk to sales: hubs.ly/Q0493yKf0 #BackupExec #CloudStorage #DataProtection #ITOps #Backup #Veeam #HybridCloud

In a cloud-native world, your infrastructure is only as agile as its foundation. If your storage strategy is an afterthought, you're building on shaky ground. Schedule a 1-on-1 workflow consult at #NABShow 🏗️➡️ hubs.ly/Q048WRkc0

James Leaverton of @backblaze dropped a warning every scaling startup needs to hear: your cloud bill will catch up with you. Three things to do now: 🔓 Design infrastructure for flexibility from the start. 💾 Separate compute and storage. 📅 Plan for a post-credits reality.

Stop the click-ops nightmare of "black box" workstation backup installers. The new Backblaze Advanced Installer and bzcli bring pure, scriptable automation to your DevOps pipeline. Read the breakdown: hubs.ly/Q047ZwP20

AI agents are becoming part of the infrastructure toolchain—but only if they operate safely. The Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Skill for Claude is designed with that principle in mind: • Restricts sensitive operations • Requires dry-runs for deletions • Keeps every action tied to standard CLI commands It’s not automation for its own sake—it’s assistive intelligence grounded in real workflows.

Free startup credits without a human in the loop aren't a gift. They're a debt collector in a shiny wrapper. 🎁🪤 Stop building on a "credit trap" and start scaling with humans who've been in your shoes. No gimmicks, just growth. What's been your experience? hubs.ly/Q047YnzS0

Stop walking the floor and start architecting. Book a 1-on-1 workflow consult with @backblaze at #NABShow to solve for: ✅ Predictable Economics ✅ S3-Compatible Integrations ✅ Reliable #Migration Strategy Book your slot 🎥➡️ hubs.ly/Q047Y5v00

We’re heading to #NABShow (Apr 18-22) to talk shop about the storage bedrock powering modern pipelines. No complex tiering. No egress surprises. Building the next gen of #MediaTech? Let’s connect at the booth 🔥➡️ hubs.ly/Q047Cdgs0

Neoclouds are built on specialization. So why are so many teams rebuilding storage from scratch? Here’s the reality: building your own object storage isn’t differentiation—it’s distraction. Both paths quietly turn you into a storage company. And that’s not the business you set out to build. The better model? Treat storage like a specialized layer in your stack. 🔥➡️ hubs.ly/Q047Bm7c0

Big news for IT admins! 🚀 @Backblaze just dropped two new tools: 🔹 Advanced Installer: Locked-in settings for easier mass deployment. 🔹 bzcli: Powerful CLI for remote config & automation. Control + Simplicity = 🎯 How can this help you? hubs.ly/Q047mdmZ0

Backblaze at #GTC! Several members of the @backblaze team are onsite at one of the largest AI conferences of the year to learn about the latest impacts on storage for multimodal datasets and meet AI innovators from all industries. Send us a message if you're in attendance and want to discuss your storage strategy over coffee!

Modern engineering requires a more advanced Pi. 🏆 314T Digits: A new precision record. 🔥 120TB+ Always-Hot Data: Scale without friction. If we can store the infinite, we can store your workload. Read how 👇 hubs.ly/Q0476W6M0

What does 314 trillion digits of π look like in infrastructure terms? • A single-server compute run lasting ~110 days • More than 2PB of intermediate data generated • A finalized dataset exceeding 130TB, now hosted on Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage We partnered with @StorageReview to make the dataset publicly accessible and structured for large-scale retrieval, so pi enthusiasts of all stripes can explore it themselves. Happy Pi Day, and happy experimenting! 🔥➡️ hubs.ly/Q046NNgD0

A few patterns I’ve learned managing AI coding agents: performance improves when repos are structured to provide clean, predictable context. I published an Agentic RAG repo that shows an example of this structure: github.com/backblaze-b2-s… #codingagent #aicoding #vibecoding #code

This Pi Day, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible (and storable). 🔢 314T Digits 🗄️ 120TB+ always-hot storage See how we stored the irrational: hubs.ly/Q046N9Lt0

The real single point of failure on the internet isn’t a server. It’s concentration. Neocloud ecosystems reduce correlated risk by separating compute, storage, networking, and control planes across specialized providers. Multi-cloud spreads workloads. Neocloud separates failure domains. Read the full story 🔥➡️ hubs.ly/Q046cFfg0
