Hi
I'm planning to seeding hard using transmission. It could mean hundreds of torrents and a lot of time.
Where are transmission files to make backups?
I've seen
here, but it seems transmission is not at HOME with xBian.
Best regards
Did you set it up yourself or use the xbian-package-downloads?
If the latter, they should be in $HOME/.config or what was set in
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9091
That document is not correct for Debian packages. If you're using transmission package from Debian, look into file
/etc/default/transmission-daemon
There is CONFIG_DIR defined and you can define the user. Here is an example (token from my transmission installation )
Quote:# defaults for transmission-daemon
# sourced by /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
# Change to 0 to disable daemon
ENABLE_DAEMON=1
USER="xbian"
# This directory stores some runtime information, like torrent files
# and links to the config file, which itself can be found in
# /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
#CONFIG_DIR="/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info"
CONFIG_DIR="/home/xbian/.config/transmission"
# Default options for daemon, see transmission-daemon(1) for more options
OPTIONS="--config-dir $CONFIG_DIR"
# (optional) extra options to start-stop-daemon
#START_STOP_OPTIONS="--iosched idle --nicelevel 10"
I have them here:
Terminal
xbian@xbian /etc/transmission $ ls
blocklists dht.dat resume settings.json torrents
The process:
1- Delete directory:
Terminal
sudo rm -rf /etc/transmission
2- Copy the backup (backup in this example would be: "/home/xbian/transmission/" accesible from Samba):
Terminal
sudo cp -r /home/xbian/transmission/ /etc/transmission/
3- Change permissions:
Terminal
sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/transmission/
sudo chown -R xbian:xbian /etc/transmission/
Working, thank you guys.
