Using restic on Box via rclone
Writing this one as much for myself as anyone else, since I've hit this twice already and had to figure it out both times...
I was setting up a backup with restic using a repo on Box (via the awesome rclone tool). The repo would init, but when trying to do anything else I got the following errors:
Load(<key/8d7cd73b2f>, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 720.254544ms: <key/8d7cd73b2f> does not exist
It turns out this is due to the Box end automatically classifying the new directories with a "highly confidential" flag, preventing certain levels of access.
(It's possible this is specific to the company I work for, but I figure Box must offer the functionality or we wouldn't be able to use it.)
To make the repo function correctly I needed to go to the web UI, and reclassify the repo directory to a lower level, reducing the sensitivity. Since the files which will be living in there will be encrypted by restic this seems okay to me.
