Indeed the user account for service bareos-fd is root: ps auxw | grep bar root 38459 0.2 0.0 170624 2988 ? Ssl Dec02 20:48 /usr/sbin/bareos-fd bareos 79101 0.1 0.0 90000 3200 ? Ssl Nov28 26:16 /usr/sbin/bareos-sd The OS is SLES11SP4; files on client to backup are: ll /Backup_NewDB_BS4/data/ total 198928404 -rw-r----- 1 bs4adm sapsys 155648 Dec 7 14:42 backup_BS4_bareos-schedule-20161207_144219_databackup_0_1 -rw-r----- 1 bs4adm sapsys 100671488 Dec 7 14:42 backup_BS4_bareos-schedule-20161207_144219_databackup_1_1 -rw-r----- 1 bs4adm sapsys 83894272 Dec 7 14:42 backup_BS4_bareos-schedule-20161207_144219_databackup_2_1 -rw-r----- 1 bs4adm sapsys 202719109120 Dec 7 15:12 backup_BS4_bareos-schedule-20161207_144219_databackup_3_1 Do you see any solution to backup these files other then modifying the permissions (chmod o+r)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
