B2 as a backup solution it's a compelling option as far as pricing goes.
I'd offer a warning that I have used B2 for highly available blob storage before (2-3 years ago) ... it didn't work well as traffic scaled. I'm not sure if that's the case now.
For anyone wondering about B2 encryption. I looked at B2 last year and ultimately didn't use it as they didn't have encryption at rest [1]. It seems they've now added that [2].
[1]: Client-side encryption would have needed quite a bit of engineering to make work for my use case.
