I’m trying to do a restore to a different computer and a different user’s account than the backup. When I try to do the restore, I get an error:
Failed to change uid or gid: chown /path/to/directory/default.html: permission denied
(/path/to/directory is the real path to the directory)
Is there anyway to do a restore and not restore ownership? I would still like the ownership and permissions saved, but the option to not restore them would be nice.
Thanks,
Carl
This sounds like a very useful option. I’ll implement it in the next version.
Same situation (restoring to a different computer and different user account) and getting: ERROR Failed to change uid or gid: chown /Users/user/test.jpg: operation not permitted
How do I restore files regardless of the permissions of the user account they were backed up from?
Thanks.
