Use with Existing Litestream

Keep Litestream if you like it; use Borela for restore verification and alerts.

Default recommendation

For the simplest path, let Borela manage the replica URL and credentials. It configures Litestream internally and keeps restore drills compatible with Borela storage.

Bring your own replica

Advanced users can set replica_url in /etc/borela/config.toml. Borela can still track backups, but managed restore drills are disabled unless Borela can read that storage.
