Thanks. I have done everything and I get the folowing result:
Contents of file /data/BackupPC/pc/slacker/XferLOG.bad.z, modified

Running: /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/tar -c -v -f - -C
/etc --totals .

Xfer PIDs are now 2025,2024
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
[ skipped 3 lines ]
Password:
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp,
0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /etc)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /etc)
My localhost.pl file is as follows:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
'/etc'
];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath'
. ' -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'backupshare'
];
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'removed';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'removed';
