Hello, we will run MonetDB on two servers and while installing and so on went fine, I struggle with the backup solution. For this, we normally add a separate user with full rights. The dump seems to fail on the sys.db_user_info : mclient --format=sql --user=backup > /dump-file MAPI = backup@localhost:50000 QUERY = SELECT "name" FROM "sys"."auths" WHERE "name" NOT IN (SELECT "name" FROM "sys"."db_user_info") AND "grantor" <> 0 ORDER BY "name" ERROR = !SELECT: access denied for backup to table 'sys.db_user_info' Ok, let's give it a try: GRANT ALL ON sys.db_user_info TO "backup" ; operation successful (1.874ms) MAPI = backup@localhost:50000 QUERY = SELECT "ui"."name", "ui"."fullname", "password_hash"("ui"."name"), "s"."name" FROM "sys"."db_user_info" "ui", "sys"."schemas" "s" WHERE "ui"."default_schema" = "s"."id" AND "ui"."name" <> 'monetdb' ORDER BY "ui"."name" ERROR = !access denied for user 'backup' So, my question is: How to give another user than 'monetdb' full rights to dump the whole db?
