NPBACKUP cannot connect repo when it has already initialized

I have been using restic for a long time and I would like to attache npbackup to restic's repository. I configured the program, but it run into an error: Not connected to repo. Here is debug information:

It seems to me the npbackup tries to initialize the repo but it run into an error. Is it possible to disable this function?

The program checks whether repo is already initialized by trying to init it. If it gets something like already init as return value from restic, it consideres that the repo is okay. Culprit here was I think that restic init output is different between a S3 and a REST server. I've made a quick commit on master for this.

How do you use NPBackup ? via pip ? prebuilt executables ?

I use lates version of prebuilt executable.

Okay. Cannot release new binaries until next year. I am also currently doing a big redesign of NPBackup which will require a new configuration file format. I hope to have a new release by mid-january.

If you're not in hurry, I would advise to wait for release 2.3.0, which will have a huge lot of improvements.

Thanks, I can wait next release of the program.

Implemented in v3.0rc1.
