Backblaze, Inc. has announced that Backup Exec will reach its end of support on March 31, 2026.
The company is encouraging users to move to its B2 cloud storage solution, emphasizing a smooth transition from tape to cloud without the need for a full hardware replacement. Backblaze, Inc. is highlighting simple pricing and inviting organizations still relying on Backup Exec to contact their sales team. The move reflects shifting industry dynamics as legacy backup solutions approach deprecation.
Backblaze has recently taken steps to cater to evolving storage requirements, including sending a team to the GTC AI conference to assess shifts in multimodal data storage. Earlier, the company introduced an open-source plugin enabling encrypted backups to Backblaze B2. The current initiative to transition Backup Exec users aligns with these efforts to provide cloud-centric solutions.
