you probably have to give user nobody.nobody permissions to the files you're backing up

chmod 0777 file/folder name

can i do soemthing like login as root from php script and untar the file. if yes, what commands i have to use for logging in as root from php

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

not so sure, try to chown, not just chmod.
and as for root under php... try sudo?

Member Avatar for carobee

will the command be something like

exec("sudo -u root /usr/trial/x.tar")

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

just read man sudo (look for silent execution, no passwords asked) and add nobody to sudoers
