Adding our .exe and GC endpoint to exclusions manually should actually be enough. Hope that there are more experienced Fortinet users on the forum to add something to the thread.

There's an option to "restore only new files" during the restore plan creation, that will only download the files with newer modification date than the ones you have.

Yes, that's possible, you just need to follow the procedure and contact our support department.

I'm afraid what you want is currently unachievable by the backup software, mainly due to the amount of automation that would require in addition to the main functionality of the application.

Yes, you're correct, the pass will only apply to the new versions of the files in this case. You can try changing it from the software GUI, in that case the application will offer to re-upload everything with the new password.

Looks like you're a sub-admin on this account. API creds are only available for the main admin of the account.

Just to clarify: do you mean creds mentioned in this article?

You can use Cloudberry Explorer to move all of the data between the buckets, after that you just need to synchronize the repository via tools > options > repository menu in the backup agent while your new destination is selected.
Note:
1) You need to copy the whole folder structure starting from MBS ID folder
2) The procedure is likely to take a lot of time to complete, since B2 doesn't offer in-cloud move operations, so everything will be transferred through your PC.

Thanks for providing these details. In that case Storage Gateway should actually help.
We have a handy article on how to configure it: https://kb.cloudberrylab.com/cloud-vendors/amazon-aws/configuring-storage-gateway-for-backup

Yes, you can delete those files. By the way, do you use restore only mode to restore those files? Our customers reported that switching destination to standard works as a workaround.

Oh, and the the fix will be released in version 6.2. which is currently in QA testing.

Well, you still need connection to AWS services, the software requires internet connection. If that is not an option you can try adding self-hosted Openstack or S3-compatible solution like Minio to your network environment and use it as a cloud storage.

Sorry, but there's nothing that can be done for your use-case right now. There's no simple mode for Linux version of the product and it is unlikely that it will be introduced in the nearest time.

Do you have any other plans that successfully back up to that destination?
It's unlikely that this is the only error in the logs, so for troubleshooting purposes try re-generating creds for that destination and if that doesn't help send us the diagnostic logs from the machine. You can do that via Remote Management tab by clicking on the gear button and selecting "send logs".

The software works perfectly fine. These options don't affect the folder structure in any way. It also can't be changed, otherwise you might not be able to restore your data.

Usually those are temporary problems. Do you still experience exactly the same issue starting from the 10th of Sept consistently?

The issue from that forum thread has been resolved quite some time ago.
Such connection errors may be caused by different factors, including problems on ISP side.
Make sure your system is up to date(unless you're using Server 2003, in that case we can't help), all the latest .net and C packages are installed and there's no antivirus intervention in your network environment.

Of course, if you're on trial version or a paying customer don't hesitate to contact us via support channel by opening a ticket or sending us the diagnostic logs, we're always glad to help.

Sorry, don't have any details on that. We're moving away from consumer-grade storage providers.

Currently it's still a Freeware tool, so you can use it as you want.

This is a Windows section of the forum, and judging by your description you're talking about either Linux or Mac. What you're describing is an expected "by design" behavior. This is a special folder structure that we use for proper versioning of your data, you can't change that.

We only post major release patch notes publicly. When checking for updates from the software there will be a short note on what's changed. The last update mostly contained changes to Master Password functionality and some minor stability fixes.
