Mimic "Set ownership and permission for ...." in cron?
I previously posted an issue I was having with Backup errors
I find now that whenever I copy something over to the directory being backed up I need to manually go into Frontview and run the "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders in this share to the above settings." to clear or prevent the error.
The NAS is being used at home and there really aren't multiple users so I'm not concerned about having to do this and it causing problems for anyone else. However, I'd rather not have to do this manually.
What command(s) are being run when I check that? Can I set up a cron job that runs the same command 30 min before the backup each night?
Thanks.
Running RAIDiator 4.2.28
If you run top and use the "c" toggle you can see that the commands are chown -R user:group /c/sharename and chmod -R xxx /c/sharename (xxx being determined by the permissions you set).
This still seems like the wrong solution to me. Why not just create a matching group on the mac? or reset the GID for staff?

A simpler way is to set up NAS credentials in the windows credentials manager for each PC using the system. You can use the same credentials in every PC (and it can be any NAS account, including admin).
Not sure what the OSX equivalent is - keychain?
I'll try connecting to the share as admin and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks.
EDIT: Nope. Still get the error.
