File mode of data backup files

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

What about a post-backup script with chmod -R 640 /mnt/backup, just an idea…not tested.

From the top of my head I think you could add an action for the post-backup-data event. Put your script in /etc/e-smith/events/actions/ with executable permission. Give it a descriptive name. Then link the action to the post-backup-data event: cd /etc/e-smith/events/post-backup-data/ ln -s ../actions/yourscriptname S90yourscriptname Replacing yourscriptname as appropriate. Haven’t tested this but think it will work (unless you find a permission issue).
