That is what worries me. The only permission that is different is the 'Everyone' permission and that isn't even applied to the overarching folder (for moodledata) and I'm led to believe that if it has no permission in the folder above it makes no difference to the folder it is on, so copying that to where I want the backup to be seems odd/wrong, but hey I'll try anything now, just to make it work.
Thank you.
