Backblaze and Helmut4 Integration

Primary storage is expensive. Whether you're running on-prem or in the cloud, keeping every project asset online forever isn't sustainable — but neither is losing visibility into what's been archived and where it lives.

Helmut4's Housekeeper module connects directly to Backblaze B2, letting you automatically back up and archive assets on a schedule — nightly, weekly, or whatever fits your workflow. Archived projects free up critical space on primary or cloud storage while remaining fully visible inside Helmut4's FX module. Editors can see exactly what's online and what's archived without leaving Helmut4.  Restoring a project is just as simple — grant access or trigger a restore automatically, and assets come back from Backblaze straight into Helmut4.

Backblaze makes this integration especially compelling on the economics — with some of the lowest cloud storage costs available it’s a natural fit for an archive tier where data goes in often but doesn’t need to come back constantly. Pair that with Backblaze’s free egress up to three times your storage amount, and you can justify leveraging this storage for more then just your archive. Ideal for teams who need cost-effective, automated asset protection and archival without sacrificing visibility or making restores a manual ordeal.
