Restore whole folder with samba

general discussion
1

Hello,

I’ve searched the forum and found the answer to restore whole folder with Samba and Pydio formerly known as AjaXplorer. I configured Samba to inable the clients to read and copy the files/folder of the backup. Therefor I changed the permissions of the backupfolder to 755 recursivly. This works - but every new backup is not accesable because they get permissions 750. So what can I do to get new folders and files with permissions 755?
Also I tried Pydio to install, but it doesn’t really work after Installation on Debian. Should I try to get it work or will it be the same Problem with permissions?

Pydio likely runs as www-data, so you should probably add www-data to the “urbackup” group to fix the permission problem.
With samba you could add

force user=urbackup

(or root)
to the share(s).

Hello Uroni,

thank you very much - force user works with samba. Now we can restore a whole folder. Fine :D
