Permission restrictions while copying files from backup manually

[madhukar83]

Hello,

I am running into "chmodperation not permitted" when I try to change the permissions on my time machine backup manually.

Here is the complete info. I brought a new MacMini server and was trying to copy my music folder from time machine backup(of my MBP) into the Server. From the Server I logged in as root and tried to change the file permissions of the music folder with this command
sh-3.2# chmod -R o+rw Music
It throws the above error.

I don't have my MBP with me to do anykind of stuff. I don't want to install SL on my macmini and restore from time machine bckup. Is there any other way.

Thanks
Madhu.

I found the solution myself. Its simple.
Copy the folder to you local drive(I used root) and then change the permissions. It worked.

Thanks
