Yes, I can already access them as root (obviously not a versatile approach).
What I was hoping for is for some hints on how to retain the permissions
and browse the backups from the XP box with the same permissions as on
the XP box.
Currently the backups as accessed by using Debian box accounts (which
are different than the accounts on the XP box). Any way I can access
them from XP but by using XP uid/guid's?
Thanks.
