Back In Time

Permissions problem with windows share destination

Asked by ThatJackElliott

I have a Windows share mounted on /media

The mount command in /etc/fstab is

//192.168.1.241/private /media/diskstation cifs username=<myusername>,password=<mypassword>,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

This returns no errors and I can browse the mount.

But Back In Time cannot back up to it, here is a line from the log:

Error: rsync: symlink "/media/diskstation/CCD-6-Linux_back_in_time_backups/backintime/CCD-6-Linux/root/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/filestation/.pulse/3ae8a75b9542fb2684fa97700000000b-runtime" -> "/tmp/pulse-CcctT9RwKSB1" failed: Permission denied (13)

How can I fix this?

You need to set correct permissions for your mount. Add ',uid=1000,gid=1000' to the options in your fstab line. Doublecheck your correct uid and gid with 'id'.

But I'd recommend using BIT's SSH mode instead. It's a lot faster. AFAIK you only need to tweak the Synologies Diskstations SSHd to accept public-key login. Add 'PubkeyAuthentication yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your Diskstation and restart sshd.
Take a look at 'man backintime' section SSH on how to config BackInTime.

Can you help with this problem?
