For using Backblaze B2 as a special remote, there are currently three
choices:
* Using [[special_remotes/rclone]]
(Actively maintained)
* Google Cloud Storage supports supports the same API as Amazon S3, so
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.
* A dedicated special remote, <https://github.com/encryptio/git-annex-remote-b2>

At this time it's not clear which is better, so if you find one works
better than the other, please comment below.
