Linux support coming?

[denisl]

I installed BLBackup on my HS3 linux VM and it installs just fine. I setup an event and when I kick it off nothing happens. I'm running HS3 has linux user "hs3" out of the /home/hs3 directory. My backup destination directory is a NFS mounted directory on /home/bkup/hs3 which is user/group owned by hs3 with 664 permissions.

Is Linux supported? If so, any log files I can look at to see what is happening (or not happening)?

Thanks

It should work fine in Linux. I have it in Linux just fine.
Check the [HS root]\bin\BLBlackup folder
Tell me what is in that folder
What DLLs exist in the hs3 root folder?

I included the home and backup directory information so you can see the user/group and permissions information for the HS3 installation and backup destination.

root@p-vubuhs301:/home/hs3/HomeSeer/bin/BLBackup# ls -l /home | grep hs3
drwxr-xr-x 3 hs3 hs3 4096 Jan 17 11:22 hs3

And some screen shots of my BLBackup setup

I just tried to run the backup again and am getting this message in the log... strange that I didn't get this message yesterday.

I changed the permissions to 777 for the /home/bkup and /home/bkup/hs3 directories just to make sure I didn't have an issue there... still not working. Does it matter that /home/bkup is a NFS mount?

You need to set a destination folder in the options page.
Is one set?
I ran another backup on my PI2 this weekend and it worked fine

[denisl]

That was it - all fixed. I thought putting the "Destination Folder" in the "Backup Directories" configuration screen was where that was setup. Thanks for clarifying. All is good. Thanks!!

[Blade]

You need a destination folder in the main options page
If you put one in the event action it will use that otherwise it will use the one in the options
