You should familiarise yourself with B2 by setting up an account at www.backblaze.com and learn how to create B2 storage \u2018buckets\u2019 and perform some basic operations on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s now go through the whole process in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A &#8211; Configuring shared storage on B2 Fireball<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A1. <\/strong>Once unpacked, and connected to power and your LAN, you&#8217;ll need to discover the IP of the Fireball\/Synology device. Point your web browser at http:\/\/find.synology.com to run a utility that will scan your LAN and provide the IP of the device which you can then use to further configure. Your Backblaze B2 account login will provide the login credentials required to login to and configure the Fireball.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once connected to the web-admin interface of the Synology device, click on the Control Panel and then \u2018Shared Folder\u2019. In here you\u2019ll find a pre-configured share called \u2018DataForB2\u2019. This shared volume is encrypted by Backblaze so that any data you write here will remain encrypted as the device travels back to Backblaze. In order to write to this share, it must be temporarily de-crypted using the \u2018Encryption Key\u2019 password available in the Backblaze B2 website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlight the DataForB2 share, and select \u2018Mount\u2019 in the \u2018Encryption\u2019 menu. You\u2019ll be prompted for the Encryption Key password.
