Hello, I have been using restic to backup to backblaze for years now with no problem. However, recently, the connection I have been using stopped working. I have had this problem before, and found that the firewall in my routers prevented backblaze access (see my entries in '21 and '22), However, that is not the case this time since those settings have not changed. I suspect a key expired without notice, but I don’t know how to confirm, and I don’t want to start over for fear of losing my data stored on backblaze. When I run my script(s), I get the following error message to the screen:
repository xxxxxxxx opened (version 2, compression level auto)
Fatal: unable to open repository at b2:fea-name-backup:restic_backups/local: context deadline exceeded
The key part of the message seems to be “context deadline exceeded”, but if I search for this message, I don’t find anything.
I am current with restic at
restic version
restic 0.18.0 compiled with go1.24.1 on linux/amd64
Any help here sincerely appreciated.
