Mmm, if we refer to the package description motto ("low-maintenance
backup/restore tool") it should be no need for tweaking things ;-)

I would start by reading "/usr/share/doc/backup2l/README.Debian" though
by looking at the default configuration settings ("/usr/share/doc/
backup2l/first-time.conf.gz") they look quite correct for a standard
backup strategy :-?
Note: check whether the variable "UNCONFIGURED=1" has been commented out
(#UNCONFIGURED=1) once you have finished the setting up! ;-)
