Description

In my note and in the Puppet configuration I see:

/usr/sbin/backupninja --now --debug --run /etc/backup.d/10.mysql

But when executing this, either as sajolida or as www-data I get the following error message:

/usr/sbin/backupninja --now --debug --run /etc/backup.d/10.mysql

You need to run this as root with sudo. For the record the list of commands you can run as root with sudo is there:
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/puppet-tails/tree/files/limesurvey/sudo/limesurvey-admin

Also, just in case there’s a misunderstanding: you’re allowed to run this command by hand so that you can force a backup of the database at a specific time of your choosing, e.g. before upgrading the software. But backupninja runs daily anyway so you don’t have to run this command yourself to get backups :)

I saw the list of commands but missed running them as root.

Add now to the doc with 7db2ffb4d1.
