I'm trying to backup to Google Drive with Duplicity, and I can't seem to figure it out. I run this:

GOOGLE_DRIVE_SETTINGS=gdrive duplicity / pydrive+gdocs://*******[:*********]@other.host/server-backup

and I get this: 

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pydrive/auth.py", line 314, in LoadClientConfigFile
    raise InvalidConfigError('Invalid client secrets file %s' % error)
InvalidConfigError: Invalid client secrets file ('Error opening file', 'client_secrets.json', 'No such file or directory', 2)

I saved my client ID and client secret bits in the gdrive file (for GOOGLE_DRIVE_SETTINGS), but no matter where I try, I cannot seem to figure out where to put the client_secrets.json file. I would appreciate any help in getting this working.

the manpage http://duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html#sect22 says to give the settings filename as the GOOGLE_DRIVE_SETTINGS env var. locationwise i would guess it would be placed in the current user's home folder. alternatively try setting an absolute path to the file.

make sure that the file is formatted as the manpage states.

  • How do I give it as the GOOGLE_DRIVE_SETTING environment variable? – Jared Caputo May 08 '16 at 01:12
  • Oh, wait, I figured it out. Thanks very much! – Jared Caputo May 08 '16 at 01:26
  • I'm actually getting: Attempt 1 failed. "ApiRequestError: " now. Any ideas on how to fix this? @ede The quota in Google APIs is set to 1 billion requests per day (which I've used 115 of, and 1,000 requests per user per 100 seconds...what I assume the culprit to be)... – Jared Caputo May 08 '16 at 01:38
