While I'm not sure running the backup as root is the way to go, reducing the noise of the report would be a good start IMO.
To do that, being able to exclude *files* would help a lot. The current exclusion mechanism only allows to exclude folders. This means that a user backing up /etc will always be notified of failure to backup example: /etc/shadow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016012 Title: Backup (Déjà Dup) needs to run with root permissions in Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1016012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
