For using Backblaze B2 as a special remote, there are currently three

improve special remotes list
In several cases, there's an old, maybe unmaintained special remote,
and rclone also supports the service. I don't know which is better,
so I added tips pages for these, listing both possibilies, so users can
fill in the details.
Added some things listed in special_remotes/rclone that were not
in the cloud provider list, so users will see it supports those.
But, omitted S3 and webdav, since it's probably better for users to use
what's built into git-annex than going via rclone.
The rclone list is out of date apparently, as rclone.org has more,
so I added a note at the bottom for users to check.

git-annex's built-in [[S3 special remote|special_remotes/S3]] can be used
|
|
|
|
|
with it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, it needs S3 version 4 signatures, which are only supported by
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex 8.20200508 and newer.

|
|
|
|

Here is how to set up the special remote:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git annex initremote backblaze type=S3 signature=v4 host=$endpoint bucket=$bucketid protocol=https
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember to replace $endpoint with the actual backblaze endpoint and $bucketid with
|
|
|
|
|
the bucketid.

At this time it's not clear which is better, so if you find one works

better than the other, please comment below.
