[Box Backup] exception BackupStore InvalidBackupStoreFilename (4/3)

[Jason]

Hello again.

So, I ran "bbstoreaccounts check <account>" just to see what happened,
and it took a while, though less than a day.  The output seemed
reasonable, so I ran "bbstoreaccounts check <account> fix", and it's
still running.  It's been going for probably 10 days now.  That
account stores about 20 gig of data, and it is being stored on an
encrypted drive so there's encryption overhead, but 10 days still
seems like quite a bit.  It keeps spitting out hex values as it goes,
although it's about 1 every 13 seconds or so now when I seem to think
it was 1 every 2-3 seconds when I started it.

I didn't record the data from the previous run (without "fix"), or pay
a lot of attention to how quickly it was going in the beginning, but
do these numbers sound right?  Is there any way to guess how much
longer it's going to take?  I don't mind the waiting so much as the
not knowing the progress.

Thanks for you time,
Jason
