EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
I am running Akeeba backup in one of the Cpanel of the VPS server to back up websites of the other Cpanels on the server.

Is it possible to do this without setting the permission of the public_html folder of the websites I am backing up to 755?
If yes, what is the way to do this?
If not, is it okay to set the permission of the public_html folder to 755 in terms of security and functionality?

I am asking this as Hostgator, when the server is rebooted, resets all the folder permission under the root of the cpanel to 750, blocking Akeeba to back up the files under other public_html folders.

Thanks,
Tom

Thank you for your reply.

I am using AB to back up sites within one Virtual private server.

Do you think that is okay?
