danskine 1 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm running Emby in Docker on a DS918Plus. Everything seems fine, but I recently noticed that the config backup stopped running. I have made sure the folder is mapped properly and the backup used to work (last one was 9/1/2021). The only thing I am seeing in the logs is this. 2021-11-21 14:00:01.576 Info ServerConfigurationManager: Saving system configuration 2021-11-21 14:00:01.579 Info Server: http/1.1 Response 204 to 172.17.0.1. Time: 85ms. http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8096/emby/System/Configuration?X-Emby-Client=Emby Web&X-Emby-Device-Name=Firefox&X-Emby-Device-Id=65b574cb-6e36-4083-af08-e131c334eb32&X-Emby-Client-Version=4.6.6.0 Response 204 means No Content, so, I guess I'm unsure where the problem lies. Originally I thought it was a permissions issue, but everything is set properly in Docker and with my user on the Synology. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Luke 37049 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi there, why do you think it's failing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danskine 1 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Because the last backup was 9/1/2021. It's supposed to be happening every day, but I'm not getting new backups. The Server Response seems telling. "No Content". Like it's not finding data where it thinks it should?

Luke 37049 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Try manually running the scheduled task to perform the backup in emby server scheduled tasks and see if creates one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danskine 1 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have created a new scheduled task several times for a time that was coming up and they didn't run. If there's a way to do it totally manually I would love to try it. Can you tell me how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 HI, yes just click the play button next to it in the list of scheduled tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danskine 1 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 If it were a snake it would have bit me! Just ran it and if just says Failed. Same error message shows up in the logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 What you posted before is not an error message. Please attach the complete emby server log. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 You need to go into the backup plugin settings and configure a place to store the backups.

Solution FrostByte 5049 Posted November 21, 2021 Solution Share Posted November 21, 2021 Here's my plugin config I made my folder a shared folder so I could see it from network neighborhood on a Windows PC, but you probably could set file permissions also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danskine 1 Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Got it. Thanks for the screenshots. For me, I actually had permissions set up, but my Emby Backup folder is in /Backups/Media Files/Emby Backups/ In DSM 6.x I had given read/write permission to the emby user for Backups and the permissions cascaded down to subdirectories as well. Apparently in DSM7, they do not by default. I found the checkbox to include subdirectories, and the backup just ran. Thanks again. Really appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
