A few corrections
Authored by: delux on Feb 11, '09 11:54:16AM
Minor issues, but I felt the need to elaborate:
  • The, "disable ACL" line should read: fsaclctl -d -p /Volumes/Backupxxx - Note the "-e" (enable) in the original post should be "-p" (path)
  • I'm not sure why, but the author goes out of their way to make the chmod incorrect. If the post is to be believed, every individual photo needs to have it's world-writable bit set; not just the top-level dir. So, the "Change the rights" line should read:
    chmod o+rw -R /Volumes/Backupxxx/Backups.backupdb/200n-nn-nn-nnnnnn/HardDriveName/Users/username/Pictures/
    You might want to filter the chmod so it only effects the .jpg and .CR2 (and what have you.) What's kind of surprising is that this seems to have worked for the author.
  • As pointed out, world-writable is not a good thing. I agree with n8grey that it would be better to re-establish reasonable permissions before beginning the next backup.

Oh, here's the command to filter chmod to just the image files:
find path/to/dir/ -name \*.jpg -or -name \*.CR2 -exec chmod o+rw {} \;
