Your advice is suspect in any case. There's many very important things in /bin/ which will not work with 755 permissions, such as logins.
This is all very true but there
might be a (slim) chance even in the case "$INSTALLDIR" was in fact
/bin: it will depend on which system exactly it is and which binaries are located in
/usr/bin and
/usr/sbin respectively (supposing
/usr/bin is NOT a link to
/bin or vice versa, which is customary these days, but not with all systems). There might also be a second set of system binaries, like with SunOS'
/usr/xpg4/bin with a usable
chmod binary.
There is an additional chance if "$INSTALLDIR" was not "/bin" and the system is AIX: if you have TCB (trusted computing base) switched on you can restore the file permissions of system files quite easily. See the TCB documentation for details.
I hope this helps.

What is the use of execute permission for a folder.
I know "for execute a file(script file) we have to provide execute permission to that respective file".But what is the use to give execute permission to folder.Is it equal to read permission ?

bup-margin
bup-margin(1) General Commands Manual bup-margin(1)
NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin
SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...]
DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two
entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids.
For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit
hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by
its first 46 bits.
The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits,
that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits
with far fewer objects.
If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if
you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits.
OPTIONS
--predict
Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer
from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm.
--ignore-midx
don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict.
EXAMPLE
$ bup margin
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
40
40 matching prefix bits
1.94 bits per doubling
120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining
4.19338e+18 times larger is possible
Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets
like yours, all in one repository, and we would
expect 1 object collision.
$ bup margin --predict
PackIdxList: using 1 index.
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
915 of 1612581 (0.057%)
