Backup-plugin stopped working

[wsxws 8]

Hi there,

i didnt have a look at my embyserver for a longer time, but it seems that the backup.plugin stopped creating new backups.

its server version 4.6.4.0.

until april the 6 it made daily backups.

since that day it return errors, that it doesnt have access (withou anthing changed at the whole system)

Spoiler

Access to the path '/home/emby-backup/Emby Backup - 2022-06-27 00.10.0 - Auto' is denied.
at System.IO.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(String fullPath)
at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)
at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.CreateDirectory(String path)
at MBBackup.ServerEntryPoint.ExecuteBackup(BackupProfile settings, CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress, Boolean isAuto)
at MBBackup.Entities.ScheduledBackupTask.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress)
at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options)

root@nas:/home# ls -la
drwxrwxrwx+ 1 emby emby    428  6. Apr 09:03 emby-backup

im a little bit confused, that owning a path and mode 777 still leads to 'access denied'

any suggestions ?

Backup starts daily at 00:10 (see log-file)

yuo will also find a screen, where you can see when the last backup was saved.

Hi, looks like the server is being denied write access to the backups folder:

If you can resolve this, that should resolve your issue. You may find this helpful:

I understand, but I can't tell you why the server is being denied write access as there's no way for us to know that, I can only identify that this is what is happening.

Is that path mounted to a windows share? If yes then it might be due to a defect in the .net runtime, which was resolved in .net 6 and Emby Server 4.7 uses .net 6.

its working again.

i renamed the old folder, created a new with old name, reset ownership and everythings fine

(whysoever)

thanks and have a nice evening
