Jamf Partner spotlight on: Backblaze
Variable IT environments and cyber threats are the two biggest challenges impacting organization’s ability to protect critical data, meet compliance requirements and achieve business continuity objectives. In this blog, learn how integrating Backblaze with Jamf helps organizations, especially with limited resources, address these challenges in three easy steps.

Jamf simplifies Apple device management, which reduces IT complexity, while Backblaze simplifies data protection by delivering a scalable, Mac-native endpoint backup solution.
With Backblaze Computer Backup, Jamf administrators can quickly and easily deploy, manage, and centrally monitor endpoint backup solutions across their Mac fleet. This not only offers greater protection of critical data but also ensures data availability while keeping false positives to a minimum.

How does it work?
Before we can experience how Backblaze works, the app must be deployed, of course. Luckily for admins, getting Backblaze deployed across your organization with Jamf is as easy as 1-2-3!
Deploying Backblaze to devices in your fleet
- Create an account/group and retrieve your group tokens with Backblaze
- Set and fill the parameters in policy in JAMF (paste script)
- Deploy the script to your Macs
Once installed, Backblaze continuously monitors workstations for file changes and ensures all new or modified data is securely uploaded to the Backblaze cloud. The Backblaze app will create a new or modified file selected for backup, encrypt that copy and then securely transfer it to the Backblaze Storage Cloud.
Summary
