Yoh 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

Hey! 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.

Idk if you caught this but Blobbackup uses restic under the hood and I'm planning on adding support for other storages in the future.

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

That's embarrassing... Thanks, I'll fix it:)

Borg supports local and SFTP backups while Restic supports more (a lot more). S3, Google Cloud, B2, etc. In fact, they integrate with rclone so anything you can access using rclone, you can backup to using Restic.
Borg uses compression while Restic does not. Restic just uses deduplication so your backups with Restic will likely be larger in size.
Anyway, that's what jumps to mind. They're both pretty great honestly (in terms of community support and reliability). There are a lot of other options too btw. The Restic repo has a pretty good list [1]

Ah good point. I've made a github issue for it (you'll find the company name and address there btw) [1].
We are actually working on a B2B offering right now (see the banner on the top of the home page for more info) [2][3].

Probably B2 (https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html). Half a penny per GB.

It's a file level backup (as opposed to an image or disk backup). So anything related to the operating system is not backed up but all your "data" (documents, photos, music, movies, etc) is. Here is a support page that explains what is backed up by default (which you can ofc change) [1].

I'm planning on adding an Amsterdam storage location in a month or so!

It's $9/computer so if you have another computer, you can't use the same 5 TB quota. I'm banking on most people having less than 5 tb per computer to backup. It's kind of like what Backblaze Personal does for their unlimited plan but slightly lower tier I suppose (since there is no way I could do unlimited).

Ah sadly that probably won't happen soon. All the data is encrypted with your master password (password manager style) and that master password isn't transfered to the server. So you'd have to use the desktop client to access your files.

I've always liked the vorta project (https://github.com/borgbase/vorta)

It's just Mac and Windows right now. Technically, it isn't that hard to get things working on Linux (since the desktop app is Qt) but I need to get around to it. There is a github issue for it btw: https://github.com/Blobbackup/Blobbackup/issues/92
I'm a software engineer and founder (of blobbackup.com).
