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 cust…

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.

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…

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 …

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

Comment #30580383
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…

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 y…

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 …

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).

Comment #30580102

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/ite…
