IDrive Internet backup solution

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Hi everyone! Is there someone who has experience in trying to implement IDrive backup in Garuda Dragonized? This has to be done with scripts that are provided by IDrive for Linux users. (They have no GUI solution for Linux.)
I had it working on Linux Mint, but when I tried to run the setup script on Garuda, I ran into a problem. This is the copy from the command line screen:

'Your service directory is: /home/johann/Downloads/Idrive/IDriveForLi
nux/idriveIt
Argument "Soaring" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at Idrivelib/lib
/[Common.pm](http://common.pm/) line 7278.
Argument "Soaring" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at Idrivelib/lib
/[Common.pm](http://common.pm/) line 7278.

Prerequisites are not met. Unable to identify your operating system
requirements.'

So I gather they have a problem with the Linux version? The script version is June 2022, afaik.
Now I don't want to (and am not capable of) modifying their script. What can I do?

Try to install the Win app under Wine, Bottles or .... ?

As requested, this is the inxi output

Please edit your post and add input and output from

garuda-inxi

It is best to ask iDrive if you need assistance.

Added the inxi.
Their support is not really helpful. Try the scripts again, they said

4

Which offer do you use?
Without posting the script, no one here will be able to help.

Please understand that the Garuda Forum cannot provide support for any existing software, especially those that are not open source and have commercial goals.

Take a look at this thread, it looks like some hacking around in the script may be necessary:

Thanks for that. I'm afraid I'm too stupid to understand that.
But in the post they talk about scripts for Arch being available. Let me try to get those before I start tinkering around myself...

Of course I understand. But if you don't ask you never know. It's not impossible that someone has come up with a solution (like the next response shows).
