With Log set to true, no email and error about plexbackup HOT 7 CLOSED

It would seem after getting the new script and making some small changes all is well....thanks for the script and support!

from plexbackup.

I'm looking into this. Will let you know.

Should be fixed. Let me know.

I ran the script and it created the log file but still no email. The log says "success" with no email errors. I have SendMail set to "Always" and Log set to true. Am I doing something wrong? Other 2 log options are set to null.

Please run the backup script within the Start-Transcript block (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.host/start-transcript?view=powershell-7.2) and -Verbose -Debug switches, e.g.:

Start-Transcript -Path "c:\logs\transcript.txt"
.\Plexbackup.ps1 ... -Verbose -Debug
Stop-Transcript

Then post the transcript file. I will take a look.

I do not see the transcript file, but first of all, did you try the latest version of the script?
