Modify Path for Backup

1st Official Post

    Hello Together!
    I work with Libreelec 8 on a Raspberry Pi.
    My Backup/Restore Strategy works fine and is prooved.
    I make a TAR-File with Libreelec Configuration=>System=>Backup.
    The Archive is saved to /storage/backup and I copy it manually to an external memory (USB Stick).

    I would like to change the path /storage/backup into another one, a mounted Harddisk.
    For this I found a samba.conf.sample in the directory /storage/.config. I renamed the file to samba.conf, edited the workggroup and changed the backup path. Finally a reboot of the Pi.
    I assume that the Edit was successful because from now on I see my Raspberry in my "Home Workgroup".

    But the Standard Backup Path still is /storage/backup.

    Has anybody an idea what I make wrong?

    That won't do anything.

    if you want to set the backup path you will have to use a symlink (which may or may not work, I don't know)

    Code
    rm -r /storage/backup
ln -s /path/to/hard/drive /storage/backup
