Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which access files which are mirrored between at least a first storage device and a second storage device by determining if an access of the first storage device is by a process for mirroring files between the first storage device and the second storage device and assuming a privileged user level for the process for mirroring files so that the access to the first storage device is performed at the privileged user level if the access is by the process for mirroring files. By assuming a privileged user level, the process for mirroring files may have access to the files to mirror, preferably, irrespective of the permissions assigned to a file by the owner of a file.
