Hi! The user used for reading files on the client server during the backup is the user bacula file daemon is set to run as. You can use command such as this to check the process list and see the user bacula-fd is using: ps aux | grep bacula-fd In most cases it is normal to run it as root and in some cases you can set it to run under some unprivileged user but it really depends on the ownership of the files and directories you need to backup. -- Josip Deanovic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
