The downside is I have to pay for multiple licenses of the client application. Restoration requires that I have a copy of the backup data (I maintain three+ versions) and the client application. This approach provides me with all the features of a quality backup compression, dedupe, incremental, block-level backup, etc. My current scenario uses a full-featured backup application on each client system that saves the backup data to my NAS, which is copied to an external drive and the cloud. Is there anything I can do on the ABB side to make backing up the ABB data to B2 more efficient/faster?

Synology support has pointed me to a Backblaze blog post about backing up ABB with HyperBackup.

I'm considering using Synology's Active Backup for Business but I'm unclear about how that app formats its backup and how the ABB storage can be backed up to B2. I then backup the nas backup share to BackBlaze B2 via the CloudSync app. I currently backup several LAN systems to a shared folder on my NAS using individual backup apps on each machine.
