| Post subject: | copy backup to windows pc |
I have backed up my myth set up to the back up directory. I am trying to do a cut and paste to my windows pc. Several of the files won't copy because I get an error that says sometheing to the effect that the file is busy. I have looked at a link on knoppmythwiki but the data is gone. The link was http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... FilesHowTo. Thanks Rkshack |

It's a permissions issue. The backup file is owned by root, and doesn't allow others to read. Edit /usr/local/bin/mythbackup See: # If you can't read this you've got no business restoring from it anyway. chown root:root $BACKUP_TAR* $BACKUP_SQL* chmod go-rwx $BACKUP_TAR* $BACKUP_SQL* Just comment out the chown lines: # If you can't read this you've got no business restoring from it anyway. #chown root:root $BACKUP_TAR* $BACKUP_SQL* #chmod go-rwx $BACKUP_TAR* $BACKUP_SQL* The authors of the backup had their reasons for doing this, but it can get in the way. I have shared my backup directory on the network so that I can include in my windows backup automatically. This too, was initially thwarted by the well-intended permissions in the backup script. |

Is there a good way to change the permissions of the files that are already created? |

as root: Code: cd /myth/backup
chmod a+r * (change permissions, all users, read access=YES, all files in this directory) |

@ thornsoft, interesting... I always do a Code: # chmod 777 file . I didn't know about that a+r * syntax.
