Direct-to-cloud backup; direct-from-cloud restore

[cxw42]

You can copy the backup file anywhere you want, e.g., to a Dropbox folder. However, it would be nice to be able to back up directly to, and restore directly from, cloud service(s). This might be Chrome (chrome.storage.sync) or another service.

Readers: what services would you like to backup to and restore from? Please add a comment to let me know.

My own use case requires that I not be logged in to Chrome, so chrome.storage.sync isn't my favorite option :) .

Some possibilities (not an exhaustive list):

• Chrome logged-in: chrome.storage.sync
• Dropbox: JS API

Currently I run my own qbackup.sh which as well as doing a local backup, makes use of rclone (an rsync derivative) to put new / changed files my TF backup dir onto Google Drive - obviously rclone needs to do a login to GD for this .
