Backing up to a Box.com location and at the end of the backup process we get this error:
no token to close. path ‘’

Logs show:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonWriterException: No token to close. Path ‘’.

If I try to Recreate (delete and repair) the database I get the error:
No filelists found on the remote destination

Is this your first time trying to back up with Duplicati? Perhaps no files were actually uploaded. In that case a database recreation would give that error.

Can you take a screen shot of the Backup Destination section of your backup configuration? Blur or mask username/passwords or other sensitive information. I’m wondering if you are using backslashes instead of forward slashes in the “Path on server” field.

I believe that moving the config from one system to another before the initial backup completed corrupted the destination files. There was 3TB of data on the destination before I deleted it all and started again from scratch.
The backup looks very different now. It displays a source, backup, and version info even though the initial backup is not complete.

I am seeing this as well. I’m backing up to a local disk and it’s been backing up fine for 3 months. This past week I started getting this error message on the backups.
