my plan is to create a hidden samba share
Path = /home/e-smith/files and allow admin to run a backup from a workstation.
Nice and simple except for the need to chgrp -R admin users/* and chmod g+rX -R users/* from /home/e-smith/files so that files can be read.
(BTW - a recursive chmod needs the option after the octal for it to work - discovered this recently and confirmed on fresh installs of 5.1.2)
However - short of running a cron script before the backup is done - how do i get admins read permissions applied to each new file??
TIA
