Configuration Backup task Failed

[diego.rivera 3]

Hi!

 

I'm noticing that the Configuration Backup task is consistently failing.  This is the error in the logs (after running it manually):

Any ideas?

 

I'd attach the full log but I don't think it's relevant in this case since there's an exact, isolated error with a stack trace. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though...

 

Cheers!

Make sure you have configured a backup location in the plugin settings.

You're absolutely right! I overlooked that little detail... is there an easy way to backup the media database per-se?

[Luke 39664]

the database is not something that we recommend backing up, but if you want to, then i would just backup the whole programdata folder:

/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/programdata

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
