# Create a Backblaze B2 repository
|
||||
|
||||
Restic can backup data to any Backblaze B2 bucket. You must first setup the
|
||||
following environment variables with the credentials you obtained when signed
|
||||
into your B2 account:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ export B2_ACCOUNT_ID=<MY_ACCOUNT_ID>
|
||||
$ export B2_ACCOUNT_KEY=<MY_SECRET_ACCOUNT_KEY>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can then easily initialize a repository that uses your Backblaze B2 as a
|
||||
backend. If the bucket does not exist yet, it will be created:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ restic -r b2:bucket_name init
|
||||
enter password for new backend:
|
||||
enter password again:
|
||||
created restic backend eefee03bbd at b2:bucket_name
|
||||
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access the repository.
|
||||
Losing your password means that your data is irrecoverably lost.
