Hello,
I am unable to backup to idrive e2 (S3 compatible). Backups to a local drive work fine. Ubuntu 22, restic version 0.12.1 i think (im away from my file server currently)
Following idrive’s guide, there are clear errors.Integrate Restic with IDrive® e2
-they have you secure the environmental variables as read only to root. They do not specify you must then run restic as root, but I switched to root to continue.
-I struggled for a while with having the password in an environmental variables, and it repeatedly failed. This ended up being due to my password beginning with an unalowed character.
-After fixing the password issue, it continued to fail, until I added: AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=“Dallas”. Idrive tutorial does not state this, but I figured it out by trial and error. With this set to “Dallas” OR “us-da”, the restic backup can be initiated. Idrive lists “Dallas” as the region, but I found elsewhere that “us-da” is a valid AWS region for the S3 protocol. It is not clear why both of these regions allows it to work. Restic writes the initial config files to the remote idrive bucket as expected.
However, any backup attempt or attempt to check the snapshots fails: “Fatal - password error” or similar.
Any ideas what could be the issue?
start with installing the latest restic version. You are using ancient one from 2021.
Uninstall one provided by your repo and install one directly from restic website.
Then run all again and if things do not work answer all questions you were asked when opening this thread.
