Explain permissions issues #22
Description
We need to explain better in docs the possibilities and issues you have when you want to preserve file permissions/ownership:
- Explain the option "Use local permissions" (Job form) and its limitations. Currently in the documentation we don't have any information related to permissions. In Elkarbackup job form, we have the following help text next to the checkbox:
Rsnapshot makes an effort to keep permissions exactly as in the source files. This might cause some problems in Windows, so if you happen to have permission issues with windows jobs try setting this on. It might also make the backup up files unreadable for the web server.
- Test "restore to client" option when "Use local permissions" is enabled, to check if it preserves file permissions.
- There is a temporary workaround: https://github.com/elkarbackup/elkarbackup-scripts/blob/master/backup-permissions/backup-permissions.sh
