BACKBLAZE setup

Simple paas uses BACKBLAZE B2 as a backup/restore destination. This requires a little setup and authorization.

These are some notes on the tools used. Note the host_setup script performs these steps for you.

Installation instructions for the B2 command line are available here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/quick_command_line.html
