Emby Backup Plugin Permission Error


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I started getting a permission denied error when Emby Backup Plugin is running. The error is "Access to the path '/mnt/media/Backup/Server/Emby Backup - 2022-05-20 10.40.41 - Auto/profile.txt'

When I log into my server, I see that emby successfully creates the backup folder and successfully creates the profile.txt file. the permissions on the folder and file are 774 and emby is part of the group that owns the folder. I'm not sure why emby can create the profile.txt file, but not access the file after it creates it. 

Does anyone have any tips for this?

Hi Luke, I've taken a look, but not seeing a solution there. This is my permission setup:

Folder where I store backups

drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:41 Server

 

Folder's generated by emby backup inherit these permissions. 

drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:41  .
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 23  2020  ..
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:39 'Emby Backup - 2022-05-20 10.38.15 - Auto'
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:39 'Emby Backup - 2022-05-20 10.38.16 - Auto'
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:39 'Emby Backup - 2022-05-20 10.38.17 - Auto'
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser    0 May 20 10:41 'Emby Backup - 2022-05-20 10.40.41 - Auto'

 

Inside one of the Emby generated folders:

drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser 0 May 20 10:41 .
drwxrwxr--. 2 5978 poweruser 0 May 20 10:41 ..
-rwxrwxr--. 1 5978 poweruser 0 May 20 10:40 profile.txt

 

And finally emby user part of the power user group:

uid=995(emby) gid=992(emby) groups=992(emby),39(video),998(render),5978(poweruser)

From what I can tell emby should be able to read, write in those folders. It can create the "Emby Backup..." Folder and the "profile.txt" file, but fails after that with permission denied error.
