Using AWS S3 CLI to upload files to Backblaze B2 storage

Prerequisites you need to have (see here more):

Configure the backblaze profile like this:

$FolderPathToBackup = $Config.FolderPathToBackup
$BackblazeBucketName = $Config.BackblazeBucketName
$BackblazeS3EndpointUrl = $Config.BackblazeS3EndpointUrl

# Configure AWS CLI with Backblaze
$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "<BackblazeKeyID>"
$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "<BackblazeAppKey>"

aws configure set aws_access_key_id $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --profile backblaze; `
    aws configure set aws_secret_access_key $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY --profile backblaze

Test the integration:

aws s3 ls --endpoint-url=$BackblazeS3EndpointUrl --profile backblaze

Upload the file to the S3-compatible bucket in Backblaze B2:

aws s3 cp "C:/path/to/backup/" s3://custom-bucket-name-in-backblaze/ --recursive --profile backblaze --endpoint-url=$BackblazeS3EndpointUrl
