In this way, it is possible to have access to petabytes of data while using a modestly sized local volume.Īs the most affordable and scalable public cloud storage platform available - with a robust REST API that is being consumed by 100s of integrations - Backblaze B2 is the perfect tiering solution for Tiger Bridge customers, allowing for infinite copies of their backups in the cloud. Simply opening or calling for the file triggers a restore. These stub files are placeholders that allow users and applications to work normally, as if the data exists in its original location. Once the files are tiered, they are replaced with zero-byte stub files in the NTFS. Tiger Bridge is a software-only solution that expands Windows NTFS capabilities to include tiering to cloud, other storage, or tape. Lance Kelson, Executive Vice President, Tiger Technology ![]() Intelligent and automatic data tiering to Backblaze B2 helps increase the number of backups, reduce costs, and increase storage flexibility and agility, without additional, expensive on-premise hardware.” “Anyone looking to optimize their storage usage will love the integration between Backblaze and Tiger Bridge. This all occurs on a single pane of glass with no interruptions to your workflow - all backup copy jobs and restores are controlled directly from your Veeam Backup and Replication Console. But now you have a new, affordable, seamless option: the B2 Cloud Storage partnership with Tiger Bridge! The solution allows you to back up your VMs in the cloud and easily restore files as far back as you’d like to go, for ⅓ of the price of using S3. Or, you could purchase and configure more on-prem hardware. You could upgrade to a higher (and more expensive) license with Veeam…and then pay the expensive storage costs of Amazon S3. This enables you to pull down subsets of files beyond the period of time your on-prem backups cover.īut before today, your options weren’t all that attractive. By tiering to the cloud, you can extend your backups further in time. ![]() ![]() If the number of backups you retain is seven days, then your backups have seven days worth of data. You sized your on-prem storage to handle the number of backups you wished to retain when you launched your Veeam instance. “Many of our customers use Veeam and they want a way to extend their recovery points, but don’t have the budget or desire to change their on-prem infrastructure and workflows.”
