Hi,

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

Regards.

Xuo.
