FWIW, here's my localhost.pl file:
#
# Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
#for some reason pings fail
$Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/true';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/var/lib/backuppc', '/var/log',
'/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/staff', '/mnt'];
#$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc', '/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/', '/root'];
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/'];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f -
-C $shareName'
. ' --totals';
# turning off compression on these files, so they can be recovered without
# backuppc.
# wouldn't make sense to need your backup server,
# in order to recover your backup server, now would it?
$Conf{CompressLevel} = 0;
# do backups anytime
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [];
# remove extra shell escapes ($fileList+ etc.) that are
# needed for remote backups but may break local ones
#$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';
#$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';
