What's the self-hostable part?
Kopia is rather restic with a GUI...

Ah, there's a server-mode: https://kopia.io/docs/repository-server/

By default, every user of Kopia repository directly connects to an underlying storage using read-write access. If the users who share the repository do not entirely trust each other, some malicious actors can delete repository data structures, causing data loss for others.

Repository Server allows an instance of Kopia to proxy access to the underlying storage and has Kopia clients proxy all access through it, only requiring a username and password to talk to the server without any knowledge of repository storage credentials.

In repository server mode, each user is limited to seeing their own snapshots and policy manifest without being able to access those from another user account.

This is a pearl for convenient and user friendly client (PC/Mac) to server (Cloudron-app) smart backup without BigTech. I think it deserves more votes and an app

@imc67 This aspect is interesting:

Error Correction

Kopia supports Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm to help prevent your snapshots from being corrupted by faulty hardware, such as bitflips or bitrot.
