Configuration Backup Failed

[Trevor68 70]

This has been going on for a few months now, and is not urgent, just odd. Every 2-3days the emby server backup fails, with the following message.

This is a W10 Server, saving the configs to a SMB share on Truenas Scale. It worked fine for a while, then started throwing errors every other day, even though said folder looks fine to me. As in the backups are there and look just like the ones with no errors during creation.

Hi, instead of using SMB paths, what you could try is mounting those network paths to a local path in the OS, and then use the local path within Emby. That may give you better results.

Ok I mapped the drive, and it IS better, about 5 days between tripping over itself now. 

I think I better just store them locally.

Thanks for the feedback.
