WayToDooron Backblaze restore for Personal Backup is awful

Thanks a lot for your work on HashBackup. I can't recommend it enough. It has been great and working for me for years, no data loss and multiple restores. Top notch documentation too, just a bit sad that it isn't open source so that I could contribute. But the quality is there and it has been really solid for me.

WayToDooron Django 4.0

While it doesn't seem like a major update at first glance on this news piece, the changelog is available here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/

Of note, in my opinion :

- The new AddConstraintNotValid operation allows creating check constraints on PostgreSQL without verifying that all existing rows satisfy the new constraint, meaning that one can now create constraints on big postgres tables without a waiting period.

- Async methods are coming, to cache for now but hopefully soon to the ORM. They are prefixed with a `a` in the name

- DeleteView now uses FormMixin, allowing you to provide a Form subclass, with a checkbox for example, to confirm deletion. In addition, this allows DeleteView to function with django.contrib.messages.views.SuccessMessageMixin. This is a big thing if you use DeleteViews, as you can now easily show a message post-deletion to the user.
