Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/eduardolat/pgbackweb/issues/111

This morning, my Postgres database crashed, and I couldn't access it, including the pgbackweb table. The pgbackweb web service also stopped, so I was unable to restore my database. Fortunately, I had a previous backup stored in S3. To my surprise, I found that even if I deployed a new pgbackweb service, I still couldn't directly restore my database from S3 because it can't restore from an uploaded backup file (no upload function). I would like to ask whether the current version of pgbackweb can restore the database by uploading the previously stored backup file. If not, please add the function of uploading the backup and restoring the database.

this is a must, not only for lost databases, but also for migrations.
