I went ahead and tried my proposal, and it works quite well. Here’s a step-by-step. 1. **Identify the groups to which the directories you want to backup belong.** 2. **Identify the GIDs of these groups.** 3. **Enter the jail for the plugin (duplicati in this case).** 4. **Inspect the jail’s group file.** 5. In the output from Step #4, look for any of the groups you identified in Step #1. There will be four possibilities: 6. **Add the missing groups to the jail.** where GROUP is the case-sensitive name of the group you identified in Step #1, and GID is the corresponding group ID you identified in Step #2. Do this for every group you identified in Steps #1, 2, & 5. 1. **Add duplicati to each of these groups.** You might want to check that duplicati is an actual user in the jail. (`cat /etc/passwd`). Here GROUP is one of the group names you identified in Step #1, bearing in mind the details in Step #5.
