I'm trying to understand how to use your script #45

Good morning,

I think I've properly installed your script and confirmed that it's running. I would like to do daily backup where I would save to a certain folder. You have listed: EXAMPLE:

If I would like to retain Jellyfin to start at boot, then, would I do this?: "sudo jellyman -S -b /home/$USER/ -s" Where that would simply stop Jellyfin, do a backup, and then start Jellfin. Am I correct? Since y ou are the creator of this script, have you automated the setup with a cron job or as a command on Linux's startup (i.e. like Ubuntu's Autostart feature)?

Thx for a really cool script.

EDIT: I keep getting an error referring to (addy slightly changed for security)/$USER/Backups/jellyfin-backup.tar': No such file or directory. How can it look for jellyfin-backup.tar when it hasn't been created yet? Read and Write permissions have been given to this directory. Thx again.

Yes you are correct with that above command. And its saying that the /USER/Backups/ directory doesn't exist, it's just checking if it's there, then it creates it temporarily. It's a normal output so nothing to worry about there. I would recommend looking up how to properly do chron jobs on google. That way I don't tell you wrong information :) Hope you're doing well. We haven't talked in a bit :)
