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

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 whil

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]. [1] h

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 explai

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

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 acces

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&#x

Not right now. I'd like to allow the self-hosted version to support other storage backends eventually (will probably start with generic S3 and SFTP first though).

It uses restic (github.com/blobbackup) to create backups every hour by default. After the initial backup, the load on battery and cpu should be pretty minimal since the agent is idle most of the time (because incremental backups are fa

Posted about this a while ago [1]. But I recently made it open source and changed the data format so thought it might be worth a re-submission. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25180655

The limiting factor with BlobBackup will be the number of files the storage backend can handle in one directory. Generally speaking BlobBackup will create slightly more files in your destination than your original source. With object storag

Pricing is pretty competitive with some alternatives with similar performance/features imo. Arq, duplicacy, qbackup...

Well you could configure BlobBackup to do something kinda like that. I know some users run backups to their NAS every 6 hours and then run a weekly backup of their NAS to the cloud using whatever NAS software it came with (alternatively you

That's a heavily requested feature that's in the works. I was focusing on platform independent features in the beginning but this will come eventually.
