Problem backing up 'data' directory

Problem backing up 'data' directory

Hi,

I have no shell access to my Moodle installation (PLESK administration). All the data (moodledata) subdirectoies have been created by the apache 'user' with 750 permissions. I'm pretty sure the administrators of the system won't be keen to chnage the default apache permissions. So I'm stuck with a heap of course subdirectories I can't see or backup.

Any ideas on how to get around this one?

Thanks for your time,

Scott

Thanks Martyn.

I'm not sure if that will help because in the meantime my server admin/helpdesk did actually change the permissions on the data directory (!!) and gave me some advice on possibly using the umask(020) command when creating directories from a script.
