Backrest with Rclone not working since 1.9.0

[MrSlumber]

Hi,
great fan of Backrest and it really rescued my files once so I was more than happy to donate for this fantastic project! :-)

Been running the Backrest Docker container in Unraid for over a year now with the "rclone:myconfig:repository" repository URL option and it worked flawless with Nextcloud storage via WebDAV via Rclonewith with no hickups.

But since version 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 everything seems to be broken, no backups, prunes or checks are possible any more.
I changed nothing in Unraid, Nextcloud or somewhere else just updatet the Backrest Docker container like before.

E.g. when I start a backup task which worked perfectly via cron for over a year now the following errors messesages are returned, please look at the bottom of this post.

I'm in no way into programming but skilled enough (I think ;-) ) to get the Unraid Backrest Docker Container running with the Rclone option for Nextcloud but really got no clue what the errors messages mean or where I should look.
Tried everything from reboot to reinstall but still the same. When I try to access the Restic/Backrest repository in Nextcloud via "Nacho-Rclone-Native-GUI" Docker container there is no problem.

So bear with my knowledge and thanks in advance for looking at my problem and for troubleshooting.

Keep up the good work!

...a little bit disappointed that no one was questioning or answering but solved it myself now :-)

I found out that my Nextcloud instance had run out of storage space but sadly no warning by the provider...

So I just deleted the restic repo that was laying dorment on the Nextcloud server, purged the Nextcloud recycle bin, set the repo up again and voila... everything is working fine again :-)

Love Backrest!

Missed your initial comment on this, glad you got unblocked. And yikes - fairly opaque error from rclone. I suppose the problem of accurately classifying errors across all supported storage backends isn't easily solved.

Was there anything at all in the logs that would have indicated that this was a storage error?

[MrSlumber]

Thanks for your feedback! Nope, nothing in the logs that sent me on the way of thinking about empty storage space... happy that it's solved now, backups running since then to catch up... :-)

Was able to reproduce this, #881

looks like there is an error that should be detectable by backrest. I'll track a fix in that issue.

Thank you and keep up the good work! :-) Backrest is running strong again on my server "protecting" memories :-)
