Somehow I've lost my S3 remote... git-annex knows it's there, but its not associating it with the git remote in .git/config $ git-annex whereis pebuilder.iso whereis pebuilder.iso (3 copies) 3b6fc6f6-3025-11e1-b496-33bffbc0f3ed -- housebackup (external seagate drive on /mnt/back/RemoteStore) 6b1326d8-2abb-11e1-8f43-979159a7f900 -- synology 9b297772-2ab2-11e1-a86f-2fd669cb2417 -- Amazon S3 ok Amazon S3 is the description from the remote. My .git/config file contains this block: [remote "cloud"] annex-s3 = true annex-uuid = 9b297772-2ab2-11e1-a86f-2fd669cb2417 annex-cost = 70 The UUID matches... But I cannot access it... see below: [39532:39531 - 0:626] 08:20:38 [vivitron@tronlap:o +3] ~/annex/ISO $ git-annex get pebuilder.iso --from=cloud git-annex: there is no git remote named "cloud" [39532:39531 - 0:627] 08:20:56 [vivitron@tronlap:o +3] ~/annex/ISO $ git-annex get pebuilder.iso --from="Amazon S3" git-annex: there is no git remote named "Amazon S3" [39532:39531 - 0:628] 08:21:01 [vivitron@tronlap:o +3] ~/annex/ISO $ git-annex get pebuilder.iso --from=9b297772-2ab2-11e1-a86f-2fd669cb2417 git-annex: there is no git remote named "9b297772-2ab2-11e1-a86f-2fd669cb2417" [39532:39531 - 0:629] 08:21:08 [vivitron@tronlap:o +3] ~/annex/ISO $ git remote lists "cloud" as a remote: $ git remote all cloud cs es3 origin git-annex status lists S3 support: $ git-annex status supported backends: SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E WORM URL supported remote types: git S3 bup directory rsync web hook I appreciate any help....
