[Box Backup] config question

Hi Wendell,

What was causing it? Those key errors were weird, I've never seen anything 
like that.

No, the data directory is for client state. The location where your 
backups are stored is controlled by bbstored, and specified in 
raidfile.conf. The names are encrypted, so you won't recognise your 
directory and file structure in there, but the amount of data should be 
similar, and should match what "bbstoreaccounts" tells you.

Cheers, Chris.
