Question about folder permissions

[pctravel 3]

Appreciate any assistance. 

 

I'm running Emby Server 4.3.1 in a jail on 11.2. FreeNas itself is updated to 11.3. Used a scripted install and not the plugin. Everything is working in Emby but after purchasing premier I decided to install the "Server Configuration Backup" plugin.  

 

I was able to set the folder to backup to however it appears emby is unable to create the folder. Do I need to add some permissions? I'm very green with Freenas so need to understand what I need to do to get this working. Here is the error report in the log:

 System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/usr/local/Emby Backup - 2020-04-26 00.10.0 - Auto" is denied.

so yes, emby needs write access there.

Definitely permissions issue.

And now with 11.3 permissions are easier than ever.

That's exactly what I needed, updated and the backup ran perfect. Thanks for directing me to the guide.
