I think decentralized storage + Blobbackup could make for an interesting pairing. I'll make time to look into it.

- crossroadsguy 5y agoSo as of now I can use it your app and to b2? Because that’s where my restic backups go to (natively).
- crossroadsguy 5y agoI tried the app and I did notice the first screen is "Select Storage Location" after you try to add a new backup and it lists: local dir, aws, gc, azure, b2, s3, sftp. So I indeed guess it can as well be used as restic frontend (but I am not really sure to what extent it uses restic and whether blobbackup is just a gui/skin for restic)
- rsync 5y agoAhhh … sftp is a choice. Great job!
- bimbashrestha 5y agoHey! Thanks for trying the app. I think you may have tried our original app (the original folder in the github repo). I need to clean up the Releases page. That version used a custom backup engine and allowed backups to a number of storage providers (S3, B2, SFTP, etc). The new app uses restic as the backup engine and only supports backups to B2 right now. Sorry for the confusion.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoSo I’m using restic currently (barebones; with scripts). And I pay for storage on b2. Should I download it from elsewhere? Isn’t Blobbackup opensource? Can I use blobbackup instead to do the same only that Blobbackup will be a gui for Restic? As an analogy - what is Vorta for Borg.
- bimbashrestha 5y agoYoh can download the binaries if you create an account! I should also just put the new binaries on the release page. I'll do that soon
