Why is duplicity throwing this Traceback? Unauthorized: (unauthorized)

Asked by Jesse Fowers

Hello friends of Duplicity!

First I here is the problem I am running into and then I will tell you what trouble shooting I have done.

I am attempting to set up duplicity to backup to Backblaze B2 with this command:

[mycomputer@localhost ~]$ duplicity full --encrypt-key ABCABDA --sign-key EFGEFGEF /home/folder/test b2://MyAccountIDNumber:mYApLICAtiONKeYLoNGAsCIIStRinG@bucketname
Traceback (innermost last):

   .....long traceback, I'll put the whole thing below ....

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/b2/b2http.py", line 55, in _translate_errors
    int(error['status']), error['code'], error['message'], post_params
 Unauthorized: (unauthorized)

Here is what I have checked:

> I am running fedora 29
> duplicity 0.7.18.2
> b2 1.3.8
> python 2.7.15
> I installed the b2 command-line tool using pip2 and not pip3, so its installed in the right place (right?)
> I can use the b2 command-line tool by itself to successfully upload a file to that same b2 bucket using that same application key. So that application key has the proper permissions.
> the gpg keys seem to be functioning properly because I can use duplicity to encrypt, backup/recover to/from a local file location.
> I have b2 backup (box checked) enabled in my b2 account
> I am new b2 user, and have never attempted to use it with duplicity before. So this is not a new error on a previously functioning process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Just to help anyone that comes across this same problem here is a quote from the link edso supplied:

> The issue is really with B2's vague documentation, but Duplicati would benefit from being more clear. It's `Account ID` + `Master > Application Key` _**or**_ `Application Key ID` + `Application Key`.

This is what solved my problem. I was using Account ID and Application Key but I needed to be using Application ID with its corresponding Application Key.

Thank you kind internet stranger!
