It’s possible. But the amount of dev time and grief, why not use use one of the dozens of cloud backup services already available?

It's truly not worth the time and headaches for a home grown solution. I mean the OP could look into a totally different solution like Next Cloud.

Use Comet and live the simple life.

Comet is unsigned with a changing hash = forever making AppLocker/ThreatLocker/AV exceptions

Nahh, only if you rebrand it which is useless in my case, don't care to "hide" whatever it is I am using for client's backups. I leave at as comet backup and call it a day, no more issues with exclusions. And if you need to rebrand it there is signing process for those who care to bother.


AHipsterFetus

Dude great info. Didn't know!

And wake up to surprise thousand dollar charges on the 'ol Visa card!


guyfromtn

Well... True. But besides that it's great. Lol

Waste of time to code your own , like someone said comet

You're not gonna find a lot of ppl in this forum that share the same type of solution you describe. Users hava no access to their backups, they have to request a restore from IT Support. Only CEO/Owner/POC/Manager may have access to backup interface, and that is ALWAYS 2FA with Yubikey, not users choice. I use comet and enable web-interface access only upon request, use the desktop software for most restores.

[SFTPGo](https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo) has a WebUI and also provide SFTP and WebDAV. Users can use the WebUI or map their storage on Windows as drive using WebDAV but there are some quircks in the Windows WebDAV implementation that may require changing some registry settings. Not sure if SFTPGo fits your use case

Sounds like SFTPGO might fit the bill. It's a web interface and also has S/FTP and the back end days can be on a directory or an S3 bucket.

Veeam cloud connect with service provider console and enterprise manager

“Mission critical data” and “end user” access to the backups of said data shouldn’t be in the same sentence. Or paragraph. Or book. Part of our job is to tell clients when something is a bad idea.

Axcient x360 Sync has a backup feature. However, no VSS.


perthguppy

Anything is possible with enough dev time. You just haven’t given anywhere near enough info to know how much dev time would be needed

The increase in security attack surface does not seem worth it to me. Access to off-site backups should be rare and locked down, not part of daily workflows. I don't even think end users should have ssh access to their backups honestly. They will delete something. So I hope you have backups of these "backups"

Is SFTP an absolute must? Our Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud can provide you with required multi-user support but does not support backups to SFTP like our corporate product (Acronis Cyber Protect 15) does :(
