Thanks Alexander!

This is a great question Adrian and I wanted to do the something similar. Although on S3 on iDrive e2. However Steve you didn't actually answer the question about. There's a new format for the backups. But can we use Cloudberry Explorer to browse the files?

Also I realize that I haven't distinguished between regular iDrive and iDrive S3 e2. Will Explorer from cloudberry work on Cloudberry Backups on either of those cloud systems?

It will be great if someone from MSP360 can clarify this. You so much!

By the way someone mentioned to me why not just use the iDrive e2 Windows client? It would work! And our motivation to use Cloudberry Backup is because we also want to back up to other targets such as a local NAS. I guess the theory is one product to do one thing. IDrive for cloud services and Cloudberry Backup for backup.

I'm hoping to get some replies because this could be a very nice backup combo solution combining two affordable best of breed products.

PRIVATE ENCRYPTION KEY PROBLEM?? 3rd Party S3 Browsers??

Success! Backed up one of our desktops at a good speed. And we can browse via the CloudBerry Backup client. AND can see the file names and directory structure.

HOWEVER, using 3rd party S3 browsers ("S3 Browser", WinSCP), we have NOT been able to properly browse except by the CloudBerry Backup client -- otherwise with other 3rd party clients everything is still encrypted. While iDrive e2 says that third party S3 browsers should work, I cannot figure out how to insert the private encryption key into another S3 browser client.

The original backup was done with a private encryption key via CloudBerry Backup client. And SSE was turned off at iDrive e2. Is it possible to use 3rd party S3 browsers to iDrive e2, with private encryption key? Or only CloudBerry? Or alternatively give up private encryption key?

CloudBerry Backup is great -- but part of our plan is to have some redundancy in terms of backup access.

This would be an important question I think for a lot of users. Thanks for telling us what to do!!!
