Hi, this question should be beaten to death by now, but I'm unable to find a solution (shame on me!).
I have an ubuntu/linux server with attached storage where I installed BackupPC via apt. I used the default "backuppc" unprivileged user. I need to backup some remote shares and this works Ok using either smb or rsync (depending on the O.S. of the remote machine). I also need to backup some directories that are on the local machine and I used 'tar', but this does not work because some parts of the things I need to backup are not world-readable. How should I set-up things so backuppc gets enough privileges to read whatever? Thanks in Advance Mauro ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
