Description of my issue:
When backing up, through frontend or backend with Box.net, my backupset has status "Obsolete". I do not have this problem if I use Dropbox. I also made a trial on Joomla 3.1 website, the problem is the same.
In the attached file, a printscreen. You can see backup 5 & 6 on Box.net, 4 on Dropbox on 3 local.
It is not really a problem for me, but I can be a bug to solve.

Thanks

I believe that the real reason is a timeout error in the front-end backup when uploading the file. It may happen with box.net and not with Dropbox due to the different upload speeds to each service that are highly dependent on your server's Internet connection(s). If you reduce the Part Size for Split Archives to 10Mb this will get away, but you will have a backup split up in three files.

Thanks for your Feedback.
I don't think that is the problem because the file is well uploaded to Box.net.
The only problem is the way it is shown (obsolete instead of remote) and the fact that the backup is not linked to Box.net.
Dropbox has no problem, I made many tests.

The status update from Obsolete to Remote happens in the next page load after the upload to the remote server. If the upload takes too long the upload may be successful (please test your uploaded backups) but the next page load doesn't happen as PHP has timed out. In this case the status remains Obsolete. What I described solves this problem.

Of course it would be a lot easier for me to prove this if you had provided your backup log file as requested when submitting the ticket:

You are right, but the Backup is shown as obsolete and there is no link to the remote backup.
So there is a problem somewhere.
See printscreen.
