It&#8217;s a 96TB Synology NAS with 1GigE and 10GigE network connections. They send it to you, you fill it up and send it back, and they ingest the data into B2. If you&#8217;ve got a lot of data and not a lot of bandwidth, then Fireball will get your initial backup done more quickly. Backblaze charges $550 monthly rental, a $75 shipping fee, and a $3,000 refundable deposit for Fireball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s quite straightforward to use Fireball with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arqbackup.com\/arqbackup\/\" target=\"_blank\">Arq<\/a> as long as you follow these 2 rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Make sure you set your B2 bucket&#8217;s lifecycle policy to &#8220;keep only the last version of the file&#8221;.
