Unlimited workstation backup does not invent offline copies or restore drills.

Before Backblaze business seats

  1. Confirm what happens if ransomware encrypts endpoints that still have online-only backup admins
  2. Run a restore test and record the owner
  3. Turn on 2FA for business backup admins
  4. Decide whether Google/Microsoft SSO is enough or Enterprise Control OIDC (Okta/Azure AD) is required
  5. Use the backup requirements builder before expanding beyond workstations

Product scope from verified pack claims

Per backblaze-business:product-scope, keep Computer Backup separate from B2 object storage evaluations.

Security architecture and pricing

Security page states encryption on the computer, in transit via HTTPS, and at rest using 2048-bit public/private keys securing a symmetric AES-128 key, with optional Personal Encryption Key so Backblaze cannot access customer data, plus 2FA (SMS/TOTP).

Pricing transparency: $99 per year per computer with monthly/yearly/two-year options; Enterprise Control listed as contact/Let's talk rather than a static public add-on price on the table reviewed.

Commercial status is not acceptance

Pack commercial status is application_pending. Advanced support is listed as an Enterprise Control capability; do not invent SLA matrices beyond pack language.
