Veeam using BackBlaze API

So recently (like last week) BackBlaze announced the support of S3 API calls.  Something people have wanted literally for years now. Me included.

Anyway you all know me, I don't throw a bunch of fluff out.. here is how to add a B2 bucket as a repository.

First off some things that took me way too long to discover:

Buckets created prior to May 4 2020 won't work. So you have to create a new bucket.

Here's a handy link of tips:  Help.Backblaze.Com

Open Veeam (duh)
Click on Backup Infrastructure
Right-Click Backup Repositories
Choose 'Add Backup Repository'
Click on Object Storage
S3 Compatible
    Service Point: The entire S3 Endpoint url in your Application Key
    Region: Just the 'us-west-000' or equivalent in your app key
    Credentials: Create a new one based off your Key ID and Application Key
Make sure the bucket you associated with the Application ID is correct, create a new folder within





That's it!
