Copying tutor gives permission denied

[Silidrone]

Hi,

I was following this from the docs: Making backups and migrating data — Tutor documentation

On the 3rd step, when I run
rsync -avr "$(tutor config printroot)/" username@server2:/tmp/tutor/

I get permission denied on some files:

rsync: [sender] opendir "/home/testuser/.local/share/tutor/data/caddy/caddy" failed: Permission denied (13)

I did do tutor local stop before copying. Is this a problem or can I proceed without those files?

Hi! As indicated by the banner at the top this forum is no longer monitored. It is kept open for reference purposes only. You are strongly encouraged to move your question on the official Open edX forum: https://discuss.openedx.org/

Thanks!

To resolve your issue, run rsync with sudo. This is a mistake in the documentation that will be fixed in the next release.
