Re: Suppress checking of chmod 700 on data-dir?

Thanks for your quick reply.
Unfortunaltelly runing backup via sudo is not an option due to sercurity
issues and using postgres-user is not feasable because other data as
well is backuped where postgres-user should not have access to.
So your answer means that there is definitelly NO way to circumwent the
chmod 700 thing? Its hard to believe that. Each and evera thing is
configurable in postgres, but I cannot disable or relax
directory-permissions checking?   Even not with a compile-option or
something  like that?

Anyway thanks for your help. I'll keep searching for a solution.
