Thank you for reporting this issue.
I think you're messing some things together:
1. yes I can confirm there are difficulties when a user wants to select the
whole filesystem (i.e. the root '/' directory)
2. I really doubt nssbackup created that folder '/root' - this folder is the
home-directory of the admin (the root user) and is always present within a
Linux filesystem.
In order to check if a backup was created you should inspect the backup
destination you've defined.
I'll investigate this further. Providing some information would help:
- how did you include your '/' root directory?
- was a backup done?
Thanks.
