SimpleBackups is an all-in-one website and database backups solution that stores your backups on your preferred cloud storage.

Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage that’s encrypted and geo-redundant. Backed by blockchain technology, no fees for ingress or API requests.

We have been working on getting Filebase integrated with SimpleBackups as a storage provider for your websites and databases backups.
