Title: backup users home DIRs across network
Post by: rob wellesley on September 02, 2002, 11:33:45 AM

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

And...

When admin restores any data,what will the permissions be?
