Description
When you perform a backup to a disk image file, you can set the read permission
of the file to allow only the original host or original user to read from the file. You
can change this permission at a later time if, for instance, you need to use an
image file with “original host only” permission needs as a network installation
image for other systems.
Using the chimagefile command, you can change the owner of the file (host or
user), the backup description, or the host or user read permission of an existing
image file.
Only the following users can change the read permission of a disk image file:
v Root user on the system where the file physically resides
v Root user on the system from which the file originated
v User who originally wrote the file
A file can only be accessed by the root user or by the same user who created the
file if the file is in a directory the user has permission to access as defined by the
cfglocalaccess or cfgremaccess commands. Only the root user can read backup
image files contained in directories not explicitly defined.
