- + S3-compatible with Object Lock immutability, versioning, and lifecycle rules
- + Works with the mainstream backup stack (Veeam, Commvault, Acronis, NAS appliances)
- + Erasure coding across three sites with an 11-nines durability design
Cons
- - 10 TB minimum order (€99.90/month) and annual commitment
- - No published uptime SLA
- - France-only footprint — no global distribution or CDN integration
- - Young vendor with limited long-term track record
- - No permanent free tier (15-day trial only) and pricing figures vary across the vendor's own pages
Backblaze B2
Pros
- + $6.95/TB/month storage with no minimum file size or storage duration fees
- + Free egress up to 3x average monthly storage for all customers; unlimited free egress to partner CDNs/compute

Cons
- - One region per account (fixed at creation); no cross-region buckets or read replicas
- - S3 compatibility is partial: no IAM roles, object tagging, or website hosting; bucket-level ACLs only
- - SLA is thin: 99.9% objective with 5–10% service credits
- - Storage price rose from $6 to $6.95/TB in May — value still strong, but the direction is upward
- - No compute, functions, or database services
