Description of my issue:

Hi, 

I've noticed that when I backup to Box.com, I can not administer the files. The backup completes sucessfully  (The files appear in my Box.com account) But they show up as obsolete in the akeeba backend. I am spliting my backup to 249MB file sizes to be compatible with the free storage. Any help would be appricated. Thank you!

This is because the Box.com API does not allow downloading file via the browser, downloading files to the server or deleting files. Since Akeeba Backup can't find any remote file management method for Box.com it will not list the backups as Remote but instead list them as Obsolete. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

I had a feeling it was probably something like that. That might be some good info to add to this page:

Great idea! I'll update the on-line documentation in the next release of Akeeba Backup.
