Edit the host config, select the Xfer tab and change RsyncClientCmd and RsyncClientRestoreCmd from "-l root" to an existing username.  Perhaps create a backuppc user with the appropriate permissions.

i am currently running backuppc on a fedora machine. it backs up
several systems and has been running like a champ for years..

what i would like to do is start backing up a new ubuntu machine into
that pool..

the only problem i have is that i can't access my ubuntu machine via
rsync with root access (in order to backup /home)..

i supposed i could activate the 'root' user, but i am not too keen on that..

any ideas?
thanks!
