I am in the process of rebuilding a Backuppc machine (hard drive died) and never (even before hdd died) got backing up localhost (via tar) to backup. As a result of the rebuild I have gotten into backing up the localhost again.

I have made the adjustments to "TarClientCmd" and "TarClientRestoreCmd" as instructed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupPC (near the end) as well as adjusted "visudo". (This use to work.)

When I run: "sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost" to troubleshoot the issue and the final lines returned are "Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /)" and "Can't cd to /root: Permission denied".

Much search engine searching the 'issue' returns next to nothing.

This use to work at some point (Ubuntu v14.04LTS and Backuppc 3.3.0, I think) but, something changed and now building on v16.04LTS with Backuppc v3.3.1 it does not.

What to do?
