I have a bash shell script that I run every night using Windows task scheduler. The purpose of this script is to take an inventory of my PC, and to make copies of a few important files. The script calls ls, find, cp, and a few other ordinary Linux/Unix utilities.
My problem is that the script does not have sufficient privilege to read every file on my PC. If I run the script as user Administrator, it fails to inventory certain files owned by SYSTEM. If I run the script as user SYSTEM, it fails to inventory many files owned by ordinary users. I suspect there is a solution to this problem. I use a commercial backup software product that certainly does not have this problem.
