Copy cloning permission problems

I have made a backup of all my apps and other things (not system) which I have on a separate partition to my FW harddrive. Not I cant copy or clone them back as there seems to be a permission problem or something?

I have tried to use Batchmod etc. to set the permissions on the FW drive, but all attempts fails. Nor copy, Carbon Copycloner or Superduper can copy them back :(
 
You can select the entire drive and Get Info/Change Permissions. It will take about 5-10 minutes, but if you tell it to "apply to all enclosed items" it should correct the permissions of all files on that pesky drive.

:)
 
Or, you could do a "Get Info" on the drive and open the "Ownership & Permissions" pane and click on "Ignore ownership on this volume."

Also, if you're using a user account now that has a different name or shortname from the account you used to back up those files, then that could cause problems as well, since those backed up files are owned by the previous user.
 
Done that too :( Now I came so far that I almost can copy the files, but it stops after 2-300Mb and just freeze. Before it used to coomplain that I dont have the previlges before it started to copy. Now it don't any more, just starts copying.
What exactly should the permissions be set to? user and wheel?

Click to expand...

I used the "Ignore ownership" did not help. How do I do if the short name is not the same? Also I tried copy to another drive and that works :confused:
