Case Study: First Baptist Dallas achieves scalable media archiving and instant access with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

First Baptist Dallas backs up 10+ years of footage with Backblaze

First Baptist Dallas, a large multi-generational church, faced the challenge of affordably storing and managing over 250TB of archival footage stored on physical tape. They needed a solution to create an active archive and ensure backup without interrupting their video production workflow for their popular broadcast ministry. They turned to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage for a scalable and secure alternative to their on-premises system.

Backblaze provided a cloud storage solution integrated with Axle.ai and Rclone, which streamlined the church's media workflow. The results were immediate and significant; the church began backing up new sermons instantly and has since migrated 10+ years of archival footage. The solution provided 100% instant access for editors, eliminated the risk of data loss from their physical server room, and prepared them for a future upgrade to 4K production without storage constraints.
