Hi,
I am backing up a couple of MacMinis. Up to now I did this as user
"admin" who is the local administrator on every machine. This worked
quite fine.
Now I upgraded some of these Macs to Sequoia (v15.x) and I got rsync
errors. Doing troubleshooting on shell I saw loads of permission errors:
=============================

===================
I guess this is somehow related to the new MacOS security "enhancements"....
I mitigated this now by using the user account (nm1) instead of the
admin user. As I am backing up only the user directory this is indeed
more secure. However, I am interested if there is a setting in MacOS
which will allow the admin user to backup the user's directories?
Thanks!
