Running from /root should not make a difference. Indeed it tries to backup the whole system, except for everything that should be backed up by other packages. You would want to check how much space is used on the root filesystem with 'df': if the size there is about equal or smaller than 20 MB then there's probably something wrong with the backup script. You could also start the backup again and at the question "Enough freespace? (y/N)" press ctrl+c to abort the script. Now the temporary created root package is in /tmp/root.lrp and you could for example unpack it in /tmp/root by running: mkdir /tmp/root cd /tmp/root tar xzf ../root.lrp Then you can see for yourself what's being backed up.
