Ubuntu – Backing up to Box.net account (webdav and Deja)

backupdeja-dup

I have a Box.net account and it's feeling neglected so I decided to place my backups there since it's bigger than my Ubuntu One storage.

When I try to set this up I get an error though.

I set it up like this:

  • Backup location: WebDAV
  • Server: www.box.com/dav
  • Use https (yes)
  • Port 443
  • Folder: /Deja/ Username: [email address]

These are the same details used to add my box account as a server in nautilus (which worked) but this says "HTTP Error: Cannot resolve hostname (www.box.com/dav)" when I try to run a backup.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

James

I figured it out!

Under your storage tab...
Backup Location - WebDAV
Server - www.box.com
Check the HTTPS box
Port - 443
Folder - /dav/optionalsubdirectory
Username - optional
