<![CDATA[disable chown for backups]]>Hello!

I would like to know if it's possible to disable the chown command while making backups.

I have a storage server made for that but it's in ftp so it's unable to chown

The exact checkbox text is Remote file system supports chown

I activated that and it worked. I have a new question but I will open a new ticket.

Thanks for your help!

There is a flag internally to disable chown. There is no UI though since it wasn't required so far. For quick testing, you can simply comment out the lines that do the chown . In /home/yellowtent/box/src/storage/filesystem.js . https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/storage/filesystem.js#L85 . Just make that if (false) and attempt a backup (no need to restart the code)
