Backing up Linux Server to Box?

Hi!

I have a client who wants me to back up ALL the files on an old Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS system to box.com. It's a headless server (no gui) and they need every single file.

There's about 850 GB across 1,948,569 files in there. The largest file is only 2.4 GB. There are a few directories with a large number of files in them. The biggest count is 457,703 files in a single directory.

They say they have unlimited box.com space and do not want to setup storage with another provider.

I'm not sure I can run the box cli on this version of linux, and from what I've read, it doesn't seem like it would be appropriate for something this big.

I feel like FTPS would be the right thing (for box), but I can't login to it from my personal account.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
