Hey, so I’m testing out Kup/Kbackup to see if it will work for me as a backup solution. I ran a backup, everything seemed fine, so I tested reading/restoring from it. I get the following error:
So, some info:
- OpenSuse Tumbleweed
- the folder in question is the same as my backup plan’s destination folder
- the folder is on my NAS, which is mounted at the shown address via SMB4k
- a backup was created, and is recognized by the backup plan as per the following screenshot:
Am I missing something key? Would more info be helpful?
Thanks for any help!
i recall having to create a folder within my backup partition for the backups to live and changing the permission of that folder so my user was the owner and had all the privileges.
Dang it, I think that might be my issue, as I just tried saving a small backup to a different drive and could open it. Now to dig into permissions setup on OpenMediaVault, as it isn’t clear how to edit those…
Thanks!
For reference for anyone else having the same error, here’s how I fixed it with SMB4k:
SMB4k was mounting the drive as root, which Kup had issues with when reading. I had to go to “Configure → Mounting → Common Mount Settings” and uncheck “All or most of the servers support CIFS Unix extension”
The options below (group=1000 user=1000) were what I needed, but you may need something different for your user. SMB4k gave an error notification that it can’t read the login credentials, but it worked.
I also changed the same options in the “Custom Settings → Common Mount Settings” for the drive I was mounting.
