I’ve been using Discourse successfully for a while now, but backups have all of a sudden stopped working. Relevant line from the log is below. Not sure what would have caused this permission error to start happening from out of the blue. I was going to start mucking around, but thought I’d ask here if there was an easy known fix. ... Making sure archive does not already exist... [2019-04-10 03:44:45] Creating empty archive...

I’m having the same exception. Did you get a fix? I probably won’t get to investigate further for a couple of days. Here’s the exception with #### used to edit out private info: [2020-12-07 22:43:42] EXCEPTION: lib/discourse.rb:92:in `exec': tar: /var/www/discourse/public/backups/default/XXXX-XXXX-2020-12-07-224327-v20201116132948.tar: Cannot open: Permission denied tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now This private site is running on: Discourse 2.7.0.beta1 Ubuntu 20.04 Digital Ocean
