I want to have a user who has access to all the files and folders on the system. This is for the purpose of using RSYNC on a local machine to backup a remote machine.At the moment we are using the user backups and although we have added this user to the groups sudo and admin rsync still returns messages like: rsync: opendir /location/to/folder failed: Permission denied (13)rsync: send_files failed to open /location/to/file: Permission denied (13)Any idea how we give the user backups permission to access everything (short of adding the user to all groups ever - the remote server we are trying to backup is a dedicated hosting server where every account has its own user on the system).Thanks for any help.
Give user permissions to all files and folders
ssh;permissions;backup;rsync
