Hello,

I have just installed the backuppc and before I get started with the clients I would like to get the backup of localhost "backuppc server" running.

I have changed the host file to run as user "root" to have full access to all files. I get a number of "#Xfer errs" (=58)

The log "/var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/XferLOG.2" shows:
Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/XferLOG.2, modified 2007-07-15 23:08:21

Running: /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /etc --totals .
Xfer PIDs are now 22576,22575
/bin/tar: ./samba/smbpasswd: Cannot open: Permission denied
/bin/tar: ./shadow-: Cannot open: Permission denied
/bin/tar: ./dovecot/dovecot.conf: Cannot open: Permission denied
/bin/tar: ./dovecot/dovecot.conf_bak: Cannot open: Permission denied
....

My host file says:
localhost 0 root

What else do I have to change?? Password for root maybe, where should that be stored??
