Enterprise Bacula Cloud plugin use S3 compatible API to store backups, which currently are not supported by BackBlaze. However, Minio distributed object storage server, written in Go and open sourced under Apache License Version 2.0, that can be used to translate all the incoming S3 API calls into equivalent B2 storage API calls, which means that all Minio buckets and objects are stored as native B2 buckets and objects. S3 object layer is transparent to the applications which use S3 API. This way you can simultaneously use both Amazon S3 and B2 APIs without compromising any features.
Configuration
As shown in Figure 1, click in “Show Account ID and Application Key”. Copy and paste the account and generated key information into a notepad. Also, create a bucket with your favorite name.

Download, install and start local Mini gateways with the following commands, replacing the ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY that were fetched earlier.
wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -P /usr/bin chmod +x /usr/bin/minio export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=eae4xxxxxfa export MINIO_SECRET_KEY=00134a639d6xxxxxx6914a046b13b04635a minio gateway b2 &
Add similar configurations to your bacula-sd.conf. This can also be done using Enterprise Bacula Bweb GUI.

Restart both bacula-sd and bacula-dir daemons to apply changes.
Run a test job (e.g) using bconsole. Backup log (messages) should display information about upload success and transfer rate:
