How did you try to write to the backup folder ?

  • you always can use user root to write to a local filesystem on linux; but that could to the problem if an other user is expected to own the file
  • check the owner of the directory ( I assume it needs to be owned by openhab ) in case it is owned by root and you try to write to it as user openhab that may not work
  • to give more and better help here you need to provide more details; it is like you give a car to the garrage in case of problems but the garage has the advantage that they have hands on your car for diagnosis; in case of OH you need to provide the details

For anybody else that stumbles on this page:
Assuming you installed via openHABian, this can be fixed from the configuration tool.

  • Log on via SSH to your openHAB server.
  • type: sudo openhabian-config
  • and press return
  • Then choose menu 10 | Apply improvements
  • and then menu 14 | Fix permissions

That’s it. you can now copy via the Samba into the backups directory
