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 providers (S3, B2, SFTP, etc).

The new app uses restic as the backup engine and only supports backups to B2 right now. Sorry for the confusion.

So I’m using restic currently (barebones; with scripts). And I pay for storage on b2.

Should I download it from elsewhere? Isn’t Blobbackup opensource?

Can I use blobbackup instead to do the same only that Blobbackup will be a gui for Restic?

As an analogy - what is Vorta for Borg.

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
