NBackup fails with error code 1
-------------------------------
Key: CORE-3540
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3540
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: NBACKUP
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Environment: Kubuntu Linux version 2.6.32-26-generic (buildd@rothera)
(gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu
4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010
Firebird 2.5 SuperServer
Firebird NBackup (/opt/firebird/bin/nbackup) Physical Backup Manager version
LI-V2.5.0.26074 Firebird 2.5
Reporter: Jeffrey Zullo
Running the nbackup command as a non-root fails with the error message
Failure: Error (1) opening database file: /db/ib/path/database.gdb
The command being executed is:
/opt/firebird/bin/nbackup -U sysdba -P ... -B 0
localhost:/db/ib/path/database.gdb /path/to/backup/to.nbk
The same exact command works as:
sudo /opt/firebird/bin/nbackup -U sysdba -P ... -B 0
localhost:/db/ib/path/database.gdb /path/to/backup/to.nbk
The user executing the command is a member of the firebird group, and the
database and nbackup programs are owned by firebird and in the firebird group.
The error code seems to specify "operation not permitted." GBAK runs fine
without sudo.
Expected behavior: running nbackup as a member of the firebird group will
execute without needing to sudo as root.
