Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)

Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade backblaze -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade backblaze -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

Improvements
- Vulnerable dependencies in third-party libraries were upgraded.
- The authentication flow was updated to strictly follow the server API sequence, ensuring correct challenge handling and improved security.
- The Backup Client now detects bzdone lines containing multiple HGUIDs. It identifies affected FGUIDs, determines which files are still present on disk, and re-uploads them with a new, valid FGUID. For files that are no longer present, the Backup Client generates new x lines to mark them as expunged. This enhancement improves backup accuracy and ensures un-restorable files are correctly marked.
- After opening a Backblaze B2 session, the Computer Backup Installer now closes the session when it is no longer needed. This change improves overall session management and resource efficiency.
Bug Fixes
- A Safety Freeze alert was implemented for Backup Clients without a private encryption key (PEK) set, ensuring that users are notified of prolonged backup issues.
- An issue was resolved where duplicate installations created multiple backups.
- An issue was resolved where the auto-update process forced an unexpected system restart without warning.
- Logging was optimized to prevent excessive log file growth when attempting to back up unreadable cloud-based files. Behavior was adjusted to avoid backing up Backblaze B2 mounts for improved efficiency.
- Excessive and incorrect logging was resolved, reducing log file bloat and improving performance.
- An issue was resolved that caused a version servlet to reject valid data from the Backup Client.
- A mismatch was resolved in the cross-platform Backup Client related to version parsing. The Backup Client now handles version compatibility better to prevent these errors.
- Password generation was improved in the command-line installer to align with updated security best practices.
- A parameter handling issue was resolved that caused duplication and incorrect order in Computer Backup Installer commands.
- An issue was resolved that caused an “invalid login” error for users with weak account passwords.
