# Available Backends
In theory [all the restic backends](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html) are supported.
Those tested are the following:
> ℹ️ You can also [specify the `env` variables in a config file](/backend/env) to separate them from the config file.
## Local
```yaml
backends:
name-of-backend:
type:local
path:/data/my/backups
```
## Backblaze
```yaml
backends:
name-of-backend:
type:b2
path:'bucket_name'
# Or With a path
# path: 'bucket_name:/some/path'
env:
B2_ACCOUNT_ID:'backblaze_keyID'
B2_ACCOUNT_KEY:'backblaze_applicationKey'
```
#### API Keys gotcha
If you use a _File name prefix_ when making the application key, do not include a leading slash. Make sure to include this prefix in the path (e.g. `path: 'bucket_name:my/path'`).
## S3 / Minio
```yaml
backends:
name-of-backend:
type:s3
path:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name
# Minio
# path: http://localhost:9000/bucket_name
env:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:my_key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:my_secret
```
## SFTP
For SFTP to work you need to use configure your host inside of ~/.ssh/config as password prompt is not supported. For more information on this topic please see the [official docs](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#sftp) on the matter.
```yaml
backends:
name-of-backend:
type:sftp
path:my-host:/remote/path/on/the/server
```
## Rest Server
See [here](https://github.com/restic/rest-server) for how to install a rest server backend and [here](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#rest-server) for further documentation.
```yaml
backends:
name-of-backend:
type:rest
path:http://localhost:8000/repo_name
# Or authenticated
path:https://user:pass@host:6969/path
```
Optionally you can set user and password separately
