    Hey, quick question and possibly feature suggestion.

    Has anyone used Backblaze B2 cloud storage via S3-Compatible option? Just curious if it already works.

    If not, would be great to see Backblaze added to the remote storage options. Their pricing is even better than S3. https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html

    Hi,

    This isn’t something we’d look at for a while yet, until it’s clear that they’ve established themselves solidly and will be around for a long time. Storage providers tend to come and go… we’ve spent a lot of time on developing and maintaining two back-ends already that are gone/going (Bitcasa, Copy.Com).

    It’s a pity that Backblaze invented their own API for access, instead of re-using one of the very many existing ones.

    Hi David, thanks for the comment. Backblaze been around for 8 years, doing desktop backups. B2 is just a new service leveraging their existing datacenter and infrastructure to offer cloud storage similar to S3. I know the business isn’t going away, at least their core desktop backup service.

    Is Updraft flexible/open enough to build/add our own remote backup endpoint? Or would it require changes to core plugin? I’m curious.

    Thanks,
    Viktor

    Hi Viktor,

    The remote storage code is fully modularised. Take a look in wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/methods – there’s one file per method. You just need to tweak one line near the top of class-updraftplus.php to activate a method.

    Pierre – thanks for adding your voice.

    If you look at David’s response from February 23 it seems unlikely that UD will add Backblaze anytime soon.

    Have offered to pay for this functionality but so far no takers.

    We are about 85% done with Backblaze implementation for UpdraftPlus. I have a developer putting in a few hours working on it. David is providing feedback to make sure the code complies with their standards, and we’re making revisions. Once it’s complete and David approves it, it will be added to UpdraftPlus premium.
