Hello, I am getting error when running script for this plugin.

Here is my script:

Imports HomeSeer.PluginSdk.Devices

Public Sub Main(ByVal Param As Object)
Dim RetVal As Integer = Nothing
Dim plugin

plugin = New HomeSeerAPI.PluginAccess(hs4, "BackupNOW", " ")
RetVal = plugin.PluginFunction("BackupNOW"," ")
End Sub

Any help is appreciated.

No unfortunately it is Windows only. I am not very Linux literate.

Hi, Will this work on Linux?

I am unable to reproduce your error. Do you have write permissions in the destination directory? The default is C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\HomeSeerBkups which is the typical path to the logged in user. You can also modify the ini file to point to the directory you want, or change the directory using the Setup menu for the plugin.

Below is the error message in the startup of Homeseer. Also I am unable to change the directory where the backup ends. Whatever I input in the directory folder the backup always ends up in C:\ (root).



HS4 Pro Edition 4.0.4.0 (Windows)
ZipBackup 4.0.0.5

What error are you seeing?

I realize that this is an old post, but I am wondering where to post an error I am getting for ZipBackup on HS4

[lpitman]

Probably none...I have not used Blades. But mine is free to try if your curious.

Larry,

What additional features does this plugin provide over BLBackup (also in the updater) which is free?
