Re: [knot-dns-users] knotc zone-backup : error: (operation not permitted)

That's because in normal (that is non-blocking) mode knotc just schedules operations in the server and reports whether the scheduling was successful or not. You can start putting other operations in the queue just after the command prompt returns. On the other hand, if you want to wait until the operation finishes and immediately see a brief result of it (or get an exit status reflecting the actual operation), you must use the blocking mode (knotc -b zone-backup ...). See the last paragraphs in the Note section here: https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/3.1/html/man_knotc.html Regards, David On 2021-08-13 17:49, Laura Smith wrote:
