Problem/Motivation
Cant access the /backup directory from within node red. Am wanting to automate backups uploads to NAS devices
Expected behavior
Be able to access the direcory
Actual behaviour
Not able to
Steps to reproduce
Use any file node within node red to attempt to access the /backup directory
Proposed changes
Create a pull request to update node-red/config.json file
Update
"map": [
"config:rw",
"share:rw",
"ssl"
],
to
"map": [
"config:rw",
"share:rw",
“backup:rw”,
"ssl"
],
Is there any reason why this is a bad idea ?

There is a security complication with this. Accessing backups will allow node-red to access everything...

Closing this, since node-red is able to access the Hassio API that can tell you the states of snapshosts/backups.
