Simple restic + rclone on OneDrive? (Fatal: unable to open config file: <config/> does not exist)

1

I have a working restic repo that I migrated to OneDrive via rclone sync.
I try to push new backups to it via the rclone link to restic but I get the error bellow.

Any ideas?
Thanks

dae@darkmind /m/y> rclone lsd OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back

dae@darkmind /m/y> restic -r rclone:OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back snapshots

Is there a repository at the following location?
rclone:OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back
dae@darkmind ~> ls -l ~/.config/rclone/

The repository is supposed to contain a file called config (in P1Back). If you still have a copy of the file just upload it manually to the OneDrive folder.

Hi,

it does. I double checked and run rclone sync again from the original restic repo.

dae@darkmind ~> rclone ls OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back                                                                                                      
      155 config
      454 keys/7b9xxxxxxxf0
      346 snapshots/196d7da8xxxxxx51bd
      260 snapshots/1e316eexxxxxa67f13ff54
      338 snapshots/468xxxxxcdd13fe

I also tried to run this:

restic -o rclone.program=“/bin/rclone” -o rclone.args=“serve restic --stdio --bwlimit 1800k --verbose” -r rclone:OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back snapshots

no luck.

Does specifying the path to the rclone config file using the rclone option --config help?
What does rclone print when you add the option -vv (twice verbose)?

Is there a repository at the following location?
rclone:OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back

does this debug output uncovers anything? I haven’t found a solution still.

I don’t see anything obvious in that debug log. Could you try to let restic create a new repository at lets say rclone:OneDrive:files/ResData/P1Back2 and then check whether that looks any different to the migrated backup?
