backup files have root as owner now

[tecnalb]

I just upgraded from XI2.5 to 2.7. I have noticed since the upgrade that the backup files are now owned by root instead of nagios. Was this deliberate?

[slansing]

Which backups specifically? Can you give us an example?

[tecnalb]

The backups using the provided script /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh

The data is stored under /store/backups/nagiosxi

Code: Select all

I can confirm that they are now wrapped up with the permissions root:root, it looks like there were some changes made by development in the most recent version. This should not cause an issue since when you restore backups that process is done under root. We will get a bit more information on these changes and reply back.

Edit: You can run the backup as either root or nagios, it will take those permissions and apply them to the backups.

Thank you for the confirmation!
