I got jQuery File Upload along with Backload up and running in Visual Studio, straight out of NuGet. The demo works just fine, I can upload files. I'm using the default configuration.

http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/basic.html
https://github.com/blackcity/Backload

BackloadDemo/Index.cshtml has the following form:

<form id="fileupload"
      action="/Backload/UploadHandler" 
      method="POST" 
      enctype="multipart/form-data">

It works, but I can't figure out how it works. Where does /Backload/UploadHandler link to? I cannot find any reference of this 'UploadHandler'.

I was trying to figure the same thing out and I have found the answer.

If you check the Backload.dll you will see a namespace of Backload.Controllers with a class named BackloadController.

This is the controller that is picking up and handling the request. ASP.Net uses reflection to gather all classes that end with Controller and inherit from Controller. The reason you can't see this controller in the Controllers folder is because they are embedding the implementation inside the Backload.dll

From your second link:

Backload is a professional, full featured file upload controller and handler (server side) for ASP.NET

So the request to /Backload/UploadHandler either gets intercepted by a handler or picked up by a controller.

If your actual question is "How do I incorporate Backload in my project", then refer to their documentation or show relevant code and explain what you did, what you expect to happen and what actually happens.
