20:30.31 | niv_one_three | ok, what is the better approch on a home pc with three users: a user named backup to carry the backup of their home dir |
20:30.54 | niv_one_three | or crontab each user a backup task? |
20:32.29 | antiphase | Doing it per user will simplify the permissions required |
20:32.39 | niv_one_three | right |
20:32.46 | antiphase | It's more likely that backups will take place cewntrally as root though |
20:33.10 | antiphase | There's no need to have a separate user for *everything*, wlthough I commend your enthusiasm :) |
20:33.17 | niv_one_three | yet I can chmod g+r and add user backup to their group |
20:33.41 | antiphase | They still have the option of creating files that can't be backed up |

23:27.32 | wethrin | It's more recommended to use something like mirror.ox.ac.uk |
