Cannot set remote nfs share as system backup destination

[tbertels]

When choosing a remote nfs share as system backup destination, after a few seconds a message is shown saying that the setting cannot be saved.

Log file: kodi-debug.log Check after 2021-10-05 16:26:17.774:

This doesn't work (gets reverted):

2021-10-05 16:26:59.122 T:14377   DEBUG <general>: systemSettingControl setValue
2021-10-05 16:26:59.123 T:14377   DEBUG <general>:  
2021-10-05 16:26:59.123 T:14377   DEBUG <general>: [False, 'File', 'nfs://192.168.1.5/volume1/3 Tera Backup/Backup/Raspberry-backups/Bureau/$(hostname)_xbian_image_$(date +%F).img', 'daily', '0']

But this does work (it's what the setting above gets reverted to:

2021-10-05 16:27:00.486 T:14405   DEBUG <general>: systemSettingControl setValue
2021-10-05 16:27:00.486 T:14405   DEBUG <general>:  
2021-10-05 16:27:00.486 T:14405   DEBUG <general>: [0, 'File', '/media/Clé 64 Go/$(hostname)_xbian_image_$(date +%F).img', 'daily', '0']

Could it be because of False instead of 0 (type error?)? Or do remote backup just don't work?

A space in the pathname is a very stupid idea.

Please try it without the space

[mkreisl]

I have nevertheless tried this once:

1) create nfs share with space in path: works 2) choose this share as backup target: works too 3) start backup: does not work. the blank is not processed correctly

Conclusion: Please do not use spaces in the path, only spaces in the filename are currently accepted

[mkreisl]

I took care of it again, after I noticed that also spaces in filenames don't work anymore. Unfortunately there was some broken-optimization

However, in the staging repository is now a new package xbian-package-config-shell, with which both in the path and in the filename spaces are processed correctly

Please install the package and report if it works for you now

Thanks

It's working fine with the update, thanks! Indeed it was strange because '/media/Clé 64 Go/[...]' did work.
