Truly, you didn't mess anything up! :) Rather, you found a bug that I wasn't aware existed in Vorta 0.10.3. The nature of the bug appears to be that Vorta wasn't designed to accept an empty password. Thank you for reporting this bug and for following-up on the request for more info. > One thing I now realize I did, or rather didn't do, the first time > around was to set up the repository without providing a password.

I just confirmed that the bug doesn't exist in 0.11.2, so now the question is if a sufficiently small targeted fix can be made to 0.10.3-1 in trixie (13) that the release team will unblock the bugfix (a bugfix can introduce regressions in other areas, after all). > That statement is derived from step 1, from Examples at $ info borg. The > info pages do mention passphrases, but they sound kind of optional. You're right, they are optional...strictly speaking, because some people want unencrypted backups, passwordless systems, autologin, etc. It's a bit tangential to this bug, but do you tend to prefer if (arguably unsafe) user freedom or (arguably patronisingly paranoid) safe defaults are prioritised? > As I mentioned, deleting the borg cache: $ rm -r ~/.cache/borg/* got > things running in the first install.
