When doing a backup of tables using BACKUP TABLE blabla TO '/tmp'; the permissions are RW for root (both user and group). But since I only have 'root' access to the mysql-server and not the machine its running on I cant really use the backup to anything. I was going to make a script that could automaticly update our development server's database, but do I really have to become root to change the permissions of the backupfiles? I realize that there might be a security concern here, but is it possible to give BACKUP TABLE an extra parametre in the future to support custom permissions?
