Public bug reported:

I installed a fresh Ubuntu Precise (12.04) on my system and the packages
for sbackup per Synaptic.

For configuration i started the Simple Backup-Configuration, it startet
/usr/bin/sbackup-config-gtk
and i was not able to make a backup configuration for the hole machine.
I can only do backups from my files.

So i had to modify the menu item into
gksudo /usr/bin/sbackup-config-gtk
that makes possible, that i (as root) can do a system-wide backup, with all files also from the other users and important settings.

For first user, who is created, (or all, there are in sudoers list) the
configuration programm should start as root, to allow a system-wide
backup process.

Ubuntu 12.04
Sbackup 0.11.4-0ubuntu4
