OK. I changed the visudo to /bin/gtar but it still gives the same error.
I changed the share I wanted to backup to one with full permission and it
still hangs.
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /home/krsnendu/test/
--totals .
started full dump, share=/home/krsnendu/test/
Xfer PIDs are now 8266,8265
xferPids 8266,8265
cmdExecOrEval: about to exec /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C
/home/krsnendu/test/ --totals .
you can also still use rsync with sudo and a script called rsyncSend.
