Hi, 

I'm trying to use sbackup in Ubuntu 11.04, having successfully used it in several earlier versions of ubuntu.

I need Administrator privileges to schedule backups, but I can't understand how to run sbackup as Administrator in ubuntu 11.04.

(Other users have had this problem in 10.04 (for example https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/139554), and the solution has been posted here: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+faq/1445 and here: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+faq/1322.)

But these answers are not relevant to Ubuntu 11.04.

My question is: how do I run sbackup in Administrator mode so that I can schedule backups?

I want to run the config utility manually, and then let sbackup take care of my backups in the background.

Thank you.
