I haven't looked at the code to see if the account.txt parser will

A proposed requirement for a future release of Box includes arbitrary 
names (symbolic names) for accounts, while keeping account numbers as well.

Check this message in the BoxBackup mailing list archive for a

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
