This response is a bit too cryptic for me, unfortunately, and I really need to know the answer; I need an fully unattended backup solution.
- Can I schedule an unattended SD! backup on MacOSX 10.4.10 by scheduling it as "root"?
- For security reasons I really would prefer not to login as root; I don't currently have it enabled for interactive login sessions. Since it sounds like it's an issue with the cron job privileges, would either of the following work?
- setup the backup schedule through the GUI client using my normal login; move the crontab entries to the root crontab manually; or
- run the SD! gui client as root using sudo (not sure whether the difference between effective and actual uid would matter)
thanks,
Pete
