** Description changed:
+ A default install of backuppc produces fails on an hourly basis like
+ this:
+
+ Backup failed on localhost (Tar exited with error 512 () status)
+
+ because it is trying to back up /etc and several files there are not
+ readable by the user which is doing the backup
Just installed 10.04 LTS on a new box and had the exact same problem.
The following seems to fix this error.
In the localhost.pl file located in /etc/backuppc change the
tarClientCmd from
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. '
This seems to be a very nasty bug to me. Anyone installing backupc and
expecting a no hassle backup of 'localhost' will be in for a shock, as
the default tar arguments simply won't work under the default 'backuppc'
user. There will always be at least a few files that don't give world-
read access.

Well, to avoid the error state in backuppc I added --ignore-failed-
read to the tar command in localhost.pl [1]:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals --ignore-failed-read';
The fact is backuppc makes backup of

There is a directory /var/lib/backuppc/log and a file LOG but no xferlog.
I don't think it gets that far.
