Re: [BackupPC-users] Incremental Backup fail

Hello Holger,

thank you for being that kind to non professionals. I have only 3 blank
lines in my last posting and 21 non blank, don't know, why you get more
blank 50 times more blank lines. Using this script is a suggestion of the
backuppc FAQ and not my personal idea. This script helps me getting backuppc
running full backups. Using $tarPath ends in error " sudo: no tty present
and no askpass program specified". Root has also no rights to login via ssh,
so ssh is no option. Giving the user backuppc sudo rights is no option, to
prevent having too much users with to many rights.

Best, Andy.
