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?

Not the parent, but if you're ever looking for features to implement:
I've been thinking about this for quite a while, and one reason I've been unhappy with any sort of cloud backup solution is that they're usually too slow for laptops, unless I leave them awake while I'm sleeping.
An ideal backup solution for me would be laptop > NAS (or desktop) > cloud. A backup over the local network should be magnitudes faster, and the always-on NAS can handle a slower, versioned backup to cloud storage.

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 could sync it through your laptop).

Scenario == backup everything from local devices + cloud accounts/storage (e.g., iCloud, Dropbox, etc) all back down into a locally owned NAS. Use case == customer can use whatever backup whenever on whatever device, and rely on this service to hoover it all up and sync it to a big local NAS so it's all there when needed (and optionally allows deleting various cloud sync accounts or restoring/syncing cloud accts from big local NAS if needed)
What is your use case for this?
