  • Oh cool. For some bizarre reason iDrive ask you to email them to get the link for the scripts. But you can get them here: https://www.idrive.com/online-backup-linux-download So just download the scripts, install Distrobox, and pull the Debian 12 image. Then enter the Distrobox Debian and navigate to the scripts. Change the permissions (chmod a+x *.pl) and execute the account_settings.pl script. I think I got an error about perl, but I just installed it myself (sudo apt install perl) and carried on. I think I might have had another error at some point but I just ran it again and it all pulled through properly. And now my Distrobox is on my iDrive dashboard and everything works properly. Just remember that if you reboot you might need to go back into the Distrobox and execute account_settings.pl again, but because everything’s already installed it will just ask you to login, and that’s it - you’re back online. Good luck!
