Backblaze B2 stuck on "open repository"

If this started happening out of the blue, something must have changed, and it’s not restic. The goal would be to isolate, identify and verify what has changed.

Thoughts:

  • What changed? OS upgrade/update? Network? ISP? Backblaze? Version of restic?

  • Contact Backblaze and ask them what they changed (assuming nothing else like your computer, network, ISP changed)?

  • Try rclone to see if the same problem persists (ideally coordinating this with the other chap who had the same/similar problem, if that hasn’t been done yet)?
