[Borgbackup] Borg through Tor

[amuza]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Borg.

I am playing with it trying to make it work through Tor.

I have tried everything without Tor and it works great. Then I installed
Tor on both computers and configured an onion SSH service in the remote
Borg server. I can SSH to it through Tor from the local computer without
a problem. However, when trying to use Borg through Tor, I am getting
the following errors (as well as a success status):

------------------
terminating with success status, rc 0

Fri Feb  5 20:41:40 2021 Pruning repository

Remote: ssh: Could not resolve hostname
theverymuchlongversion3onionaddress.onion: Name or service not known
Connection closed by remote host. Is borg working on the server?
terminating with error status, rc 2

Fri Feb  5 20:41:43 CET 2021 Backup and/or Prune finished with errors
------------------

Why do I get those messages? What do they mean?

You can find below the script I did (I simply tell Borg to  use Torsocks
and give it the onion address). Please let me know if you have any
suggestion. Thank you!

#!/bin/sh
