Mac - Other user's directory access restrictions

Support
1

I’m finding that the default install is failing to backup files in other users home directories due to access restrictions.

Is there any way to assign root privileges to a backup job or to run Duplicati as a service, such that a single install can back up the entire file system?

Or, if I’m going about this the wrong way, then please let me know how I should be backing up all users files with a single backup.

Thanks.

This post by @kenkendk may still apply, though it is slightly stale (appears to be from just before the version 2 release):

If that doesn’t work for you, please let us know.

I did not get the time to make a script, so you need to follow the instructions in there (we did manage to package it in a real MacOS app though!).

Please let us know if those steps work for you as it might make sense to bring them over here as a #howto Topic.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go.

This google group no longer exists. Are there instructions anywhere else?

Thanks,
