The reason is that it is not a backup program, it is a file copying program. Backup program must adjust its security token with SeBackupPrivilege. > Otherwise it will report: > ERROR >>> C:\cygwin64\usr\sbin\ssh-keysign.exe > Access denied > Is there some special reason for denying everyone read permission > (o+r) to this file? Yes. It is called "proper security". > PS: I have the same problem with /etc/rebase.db.x86_64 which only have > 660 permissions. See above. Use real backup software, not dumb file copying software. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, September 7, 2015 22:53:33 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
