Not to throw shades, but I think we have restic which is awesome for backup across multiple backends (through rclone). What is needed is a user friendly GUI to use restic for regular folks. I hope some one can use this framework to create a simple GUI for restic for windows/Mac users afraid of the terminal.

Check out Kopia. It’s very similar to restic in how it uses repos, and they’ve put some effort into a GUI too!

Second this.

Just switched from borg to kopia, using a kopia repository server for my family computers backup (890 GB currently).

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.

Sorry missed it. I'm gonna use it soon then. It would also be useful to get the blessing of restic community by posting it in their forum.
