Re: [BackupPC-users] smb and windows

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

WinXP Home has quite different default file sharing settings than WinXP Pro. 
EG.  XP Home denies access to Program Files & the Documents and settings 
folders on a LAN, where XP Pro allows this.  Is anyone out there backing up 
XP _Home_ with samba & backupPC ??

Not sure what you mean.  A user that belongs to the "Backup Operators" has 
slightly increased read/write permissions than your normal "user" group. 
However, the "Backup Operators" group does not have default read/write 
access to the "Documents and Settings" directory (well, the user accounts in 
that dir, anyway).

That's why I'm confused by your line:

>...: it was added automatically.

It shouldn't be.  Every time I have setup a PC for SMB backups, I have 
always added  permissions for my backup user (when in the backup operators 
group).  I also select "inherit permissions" on those user directories to 
make sure any new files the user copies over or creates are properly backed 
up.

The reason you are getting the NT ACCESS DENIED is simply that, the files 
and directories in question do not have (at least) read permission for your 
backup user.

Hope that helps.

yes ! I had already made exactly as you said...

but what are precisely the privileges of this user ?

the first full backup of "My Document" folder that I had made was OK
Indeed, I have seen the backuppc user in the security settings of the
share ressource : it was added automatically.

but I have moved a folder (named Ghost) from one disk to "My
Document" folder (in an other disk) via the "Desktop"  and as you can
see below, the "backuppc user" has not the privilege to read inside
the Ghost folder

Any idea ?
