Yes. There are restrictions. Make sure you move the data and put it 
back where it was before -- do the process without altering the 
contents of /etc/box and it'll work.

Others will have to answer this. I don't use Linux, except to test Box 
Backup.

Send it over a network connection to another machine using tar, get it 
back similarly?

Yes. There is a reason that "ListenAddresses" is in the plural. 
Separate entries by commas:

	ListenAddresses = inet:10.0.0.1,inet:10.0.0.2

Don't put any spaces anywhere in that line.
