Here's the localhost.pl file that I use.
#
# Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc'];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath'
. ' -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals';
# let it back itself up anytime it wants to.
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [];
I also have this entry in /etc/sudoers:
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
the suggestion to make that
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/tar -c
is a good one tho.
