Backup failures

[mattisam 2]

After upgrading from 3.X to 4.0.1 I cant run the backup script manually or automatically. Here is part of the error log.

check that the backup path exists and that emby has the proper permissions to it.

That was my very first thought. But I am not sure where it is supposed to be writing the backups. Where do you see/change this path?

It's in the backup plugin settings, just go to the plugins section and click on the backup plugin.

[mattisam 2]

Bingo. I was looking in the system settings, thinking it was built in, not a plugin. Permissions set and it works. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.
