How can you backup system files without root read access? You are granting this to s specific user, one without a login shell, on the server. You don;t need to grant write access if you don't want to. BackupPC has an option to restore to a tar or zip archive, which you can manually restore. -- Neil Bothwick It's no use crying over spilt milk -- it only makes it salty for the cat.
