Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer:
Hello Dan,
NSsbackup knows 2 modes of execution:
1. execution with root privileges (e.g. for backing up system files from
/etc...). If you want to run NSsbackup as root, you can do so by clicking the
entry from the main menu 'System->Administration'. You may be asked for your
password in that case.
2. execution as user without any superuser privileges (e.g. for backing
up personal data from your /home directory...). NSsbackup is executed
without root privileges if you start it from the menu via
'Applications->Utilities'.
Since the schedule feature relies on cron/anacron and those are system
daemons, it is neccessary to run NSsbackup as superuser to use
scheduling. Moreover, because of that the 'Time' tab, for setting up
scheduled backups is only visible if you run NSsbackup as superuser.
Best regards. Jean-Peer
