Configure B2 Backups

I use restic and crestic to back up my data to Backblaze B2.

Log into Backblaze to create a new storage bucket and generate a new application key. Then, add the following lines to ~/.zshenv and paste their values from Backblaze.

# Backblaze application key
export B2_ACCOUNT_ID=KEY_ID
export B2_ACCOUNT_KEY=APPLICATION_KEY

Create a <host>.password.txt file or export RESTIC_PASSWORD to unlock the repository automatically. See src/crestic/config.cfg for more details.
