How can I use fmsadmin to backup to a folder in my home folder?

[Chuck]

I have FileMaker Server 17 running on my local machine. I'm trying to use the command line to backup a single file to a folder in my home folder using the following:

fmsadmin backup filename -dest filemac:/Aslan/Users/chuck/project/folder/

Although it's unusual for a command line path to be specified as above, that's how the fmsadmin help backup help text specifies it should be (although I've tried using the standard POSIX path).

This always returns (after entering my credentials) "Error: 20500 (Directory not found)".

I tired giving the fmserver user the read/write privileges for the folder to no effect.

Never mind. I found it. `-dash` needs to be `--dest`.
