Well, to avoid the error state in backuppc I added "--ignore-failed-
read" to the tar command in localhost.pl [1]:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals --ignore-failed-read';
The fact is backuppc makes backup of localhost under "backuppc" system
user, not a sudoer one, not root (see the comment in localhost.pl...). I
don't know if this is right or not, but it's good to know that those
files (passwd, shadow, group, etc.), aren't copied in the process.
