Index of files stored in git pointing to a remote storage. That sounds exactly like git LFS. Is there any significant difference? In particular in terms of backups.

Definitely similar.

Git LFS is 50k loc, this is 891 loc. There are other differences, but that is the main one.

I don't want a sophisticated backup system. I want one so simple that it disappears into the background.

I want to never fear data loss or my ability to restore with broken tools and a new computer while floating on a raft down a river during a thunder storm. This is what we train for.
