I have a project that was being backed up to a bucket in B2, with just one snapshot-id, and had about 20 revisions and ~30 Gb.
This project was renamed, and I decided, to get everything organized, also rename the backup.
As B2 doesn’t accept renames, I used a cloud VM and Rclone to create a copy of the bucket to another bucket with the new name, and also a new name in the snapshots subfolder.
After the copy I compared the buckets with Rclone and they were 100% identical, that is, chunks, snapshots and config. Just the bucket’s name and snapshots subfolder were different.
I then decided to delete the original bucket (big mistake …).
Now when I try to perform a backup or even a check, I get:
ERROR DOWNLOAD_DECRYPT Failed to decrypt the file snapshots/[new-snapshot-name]/1: cipher: message authentication failed
I already searched the forum but in the posts that I found I didn’t find anything similar.
I use Keepass to manage passwords, there was no wrong typed password or something like that.
The only possibility that occurred to me was that I used another password at the beginning of the backups (init), and as this password was registered in the keyring, it doesn’t match - obviously - with the existing snapshots and the current password (presumably the same). But, since I have backup of the preferences folders, I restored a previous keyring, but got the same result.
I already deleted the config file from B2 and reinitialized the storage with the same result.
Any ideas?
