+Backends
+--------
+
+Saving a backup on the same machine is nice but not a real backup strategy.
+Therefore, restic supports the following backends for storing backups natively:
+
+ * `Local directory <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#local>`__
+ * `sftp server (via SSH) <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#sftp>`__
+ * `HTTP REST server <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#rest-server>`__ (`protocol <doc/rest_backend.rst>`__ rest-server <https://github.com/restic/rest-server`__)
+ * `AWS S3 <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#amazon-s3>`__ (either from Amazon or using the `Minio <https://minio.io>`__ server)
+ * `OpenStack Swift <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#openstack-swift>`__
+ * `BackBlaze B2 <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#backblaze-b2>`__
+ * `Microsoft Azure Blob Storage <https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#microsoft-azure-blob-storage>`__
