Backup permissions

[Guest]

Is there any way to change the permissions of the backup files and backup databases so that the permissions are 755 instead of 600 so that they can be downloaded by any user other than httpd.

 

Alternatively is there a way to change the user under which the backups are created?

 

Hope someone can help,

 

 

Many thanks

The backups are saved with the same owner & group as the server runs in (usually nobody/nobody or nobody/nogroup or www-data/www-data). Is there a problem with downloading the backups via http?? If there is, you could always try adding the group the webserver runs as to your own group list (you may need root permissions to do this though).
