You’d push the repo to a server that would generate a folder of static HTML to look at over the web, or do something to generate a folder locally. Sadly that doesn’t provide web-based editing.
Arq is old-fashioned paid software. It's about $50 and works with a number of cloud providers, if you're into that. I like Arq, but I've had a couple of issues related to it being, I believe, a one-person operation. Once they announced that there was a major bug in the garbage collection process that might delete data that you still need. More recently I ran into a bug where canceling a restore midway through can leave partial files on disk which it won't try to overwrite the next time you back up. I'm considering Duplicacy as an alternative.
Duplicacy has been super solid, just uses a lot of memory during multi-TB backups. I've hit funny issues with Google Drive, too. One of my chunks got marked as malware and I had to patch Duplicacy to send the right API parameter to ignore that. Another time, one of my chunks just couldn't be downloaded and then suddenly could be a few days later.
