Sorry for tthe delayed reply, I've been on holiday in Mexico without=20
access to email and still working through the backlog.

There is a "secret" option to enable compatibility with OpenSSL 0.9.6, but=
=20
this is definitely not recommended. In any case I doubt very much that it=
=20
will help you with this problem unless you are actually running 0.9.6 on=20
this client.

There is a serious bug with OpenSSL 0.9.8d/e (see=20
http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/trac/ticket/21 for details). What hardware, OS,=
=20
and OpenSSL version are you running on? And what version of Box Backup,=20
0.10 release?

If you are running OpenSSL 0.9.8d/e and refuse to upgrade or downgrade,=20
then I'm afraid I don't have the resoures to help you right now. If not,=20
then I would really appreciate the details of your client configuration.

When you say "=A3i has worked with that version once", which version do you=
=20
mean? And do you know what you did just before it stopped working?

Cheers, Chris.
