+Enhancement: Allow using rclone to access other services
+
+We've added the ability to use rclone to store backup data on all backends that
+it supports. This was done in collaboration with Nick, the author of rclone.
+You can now use it to first configure a service, then restic manages the rest
+(starting and stopping rclone). For details, please see the manual.
