I'm running Sarge and have two 250 gb drives. One has my system installed on it, the other is mounted as /backup. I intended to use /backup to...well...back things up :)
How do I grant certain users access to /backup? Right now it's only accessible to the root user. I've read through a few man-pages, and I get the impression that I need to add the users to the directory's group....but I'm not sure how to do that. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Create a group (or use an existing one - see "/etc/group"), like so: addgroup backupers
Then add your users to that group; either edit "/etc/group" or "adduser person backupers".
Change the perms on the directory, like so:
chown -R root.backupers /backup chmod -r g+rw /backup
Now all members in the "backupers" group have read/write access to "/backup".
