I confirm that the "red warning" is just a warning and does not prevent backups to be performed. The unix protection has defined as follows and the backuppc user has been added to the ntools unix group. /root 7 # ls -als /bin/ping /usr/bin/ssh 36 -rwsr-x--- 1 root ntools 34920 2010-04-18 12:31 /bin/ping 360 -rwxr-x--- 1 root ntools 360896 2010-06-07 22:17 /usr/bin/ssh BUT, it is not possible to modify any settings through the Web gui because : Error: No save because of errors. is displayed in red in the gui. I need to modify by hand the config.pl file. Regards.
