Bugs
If you find a bug in Box Backup, and you want to let us know about it, join the mailinglist[1], and send
a description of the problem there.
To report a bug, give us at least the following information:
• The version of Box Backup you are running
• The platform you are running on (hardware and OS), for both client and server.
• If possible attach your config files (bbstored.conf, bbackupd.conf) to the bug report.
• Also attach any log file output that helps shed light on the problem you are seeing.
• And last but certainly not least, a description of what you are seeing, in as much detail as
possible.
Description
bbstored-certs creates and signs certificates for use in Box Backup. It allows the user to create and
sign the server keys, as well as signing client keys.
All commands must be followed by the certs-dir, which is the directory in which the certificates are
stored.
Commands
There are 3 commands:
init
Create the certs-dir, and generate the server keys for bbstored. certs-dir cannot exist before
running the command.
sign-serverservercsrfile
Sign the server certificate. The servercsrfile is the file generated by the init command.
signclientcsrfile
Sign a client certificate. The clientcsrfile is generated during client setup. See bbackupd-config(8). Send the signed certificate back to the client, and install according to the instructions
given by bbackupd-config.
Files
raidfile-config(8) generates the raidfile.conf(5) file.
