[JIRA] (JENKINS-15521) Backup plugin can't restore in Ubuntu with Unable to created directory

[oldel...@java.net (JIRA)]

Richard Mortimer commented on JENKINS-15521 Backup plugin can't restore in Ubuntu with Unable to created directory @James Yin. Your suggestion of a chmod -R is a bit too permissive. After you have done that you have made the entire contents of /var/lib writeable by anyone with login access to your machine. I really would caution against doing that. A better (untested) way would be to do sudo mkdir /var/lib/jenkins_restore sudo chown jenkins /var/lib/jenkins_restore or if that does not work and you really need to change the permissions of /var/lib then just do sudo chmod 777 /var/lib ... perform restore ... sudo chmod 755 /var/lib But certainly you do not need to supply the -R parameter to chmod.
