Ah this isn't supported right now. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to add but it's just never been brought up by users till now. What is your use case for this?
Or maybe I'm confused about your question haha. Do you simply mean is it possible to restore backups to local? Or a reverse backup operation from cloud to local?

I'd be more curious what the advantages are compared to Arq.
It's generally faster to backup [1], way faster to restore [1], backups use less space [1], has a native app for each OS and usability (subjective I know but give the two a shot yourself) is better imo. [1] Benchmark on open data set. https://blobbackup.com/10_gb_benchmark.php
Which version of Duplicati was used in this benchmark?

#23Aesthetics-wise this looks very heavily "inspired" by https://bvckup2.com . The UI is basically a 1-to-1 copy of an older version: https://blobbackup.com/images/logs.png http://bvckup.com/img/shot-6.png "Good artists create, great artists copy", but that's a bit too close for comfort.
Similar to how desktop word processors and browsers all look the same; some patterns just make sense for a specific type of software.

#25What are the advantages compared to say, Rclone which is open-source and supports a wide variety of storage backends[1] and E2E encryption[2] as well? [1]: https://rclone.org/overview/ , [2]: https://rclone.org/crypt/

I see that they are almost the same, but my version would probably end up looking the same if I were to independently write a GUI for backups. Similar to how desktop word processors and browsers all look the same; some patterns just make sense for a specific type of software.
Given that this one uses secondary control labels that are verbatim of Bvckup's, has the same layout and opening screen, and nearly identical look and feel, this is certainly not an independent effort.

It is surprisingly hard to come up with a simple and concise UI even if it may seem all too trivial in retrospect.

#28Website does not inspire trust as there is no mention at all about who the seller is.
Terms of use, privacy policy are also relevant, especially in this context where software gets access to all of customer's data...

#29We (rsync.net) will test this out immediately - we're always happy to see tools like this that support plain old SFTP. If, for any reason, you'd like a free test account, just email info@rsync.net. Thank you for building this!
