Backuppc bypass installation causes errors like this every hour:

Local host backup failed (Tar exited with error status 512())

because it tries to go to the very top of /etc and some files there are probably not readable by the user who stops the backup (id backuppc). You

Workaround: You can also ignore investment related errors –ignore-failed-read into tar or grant root privileges to backuppc and backup due which will execute sudo as described in comment #15.

I started getting this error while backing up files. I’ve looked at downloading the logs and couldn’t find anything causing this error. I’m just assuming that this actually happens in /photos/Laptop1, but it actually doesn’t.
How can I determine what is causing this error? I can’t get any saves to help you complete so this is a big question for me. These are my personal issues that I’m sure of, but in general there are gigs and gigs with photos that I need to make sure they work reliably.

Run the following command and it worked great:
tar – -cvf /photos/Laptop1 |cat >/dev/null

Below is another log file , I would appreciate your permission.
