Ignore Privledges Warning?


Recommended Posts

I noticed in my Retrospect 5.0 Preferences panel, under the "OS X..." sub-panel, that there is an optional checkbox for a "Privileges Warning" (if a client has a drive/volume is set with "ignore privileges").

 

 

 

Can someone explain to me what this is exactly? And how does it affect the data that Retro backs up?

To control access to disks, folders, and files, you can set access privileges. You can set the privileges for the owner of the item, a group, and everyone who has access to your computer. If you select the checkbox for "Ignore privileges on this volume" in the Show Info window for a volume, no permissions are copied.

 

 

 

The warning lets you know if a client machine has a volume that is set to ignore OS X permissions on files.
