Back In Time

Prompt root password.

Asked by Rah

I am using 13.04 version of ubuntu. Yesterday i installed backin time and when i started using it first time to backup some folders, it asks for two versions, One is with root rights and another is without. While installing the backin time i did not set nor the installer asked me any type of password. I tried alot to get rid of the screen to enter root password when i execute it, but i did not get success. can any one help me to run backin time with root password.

This is your current users password. 'BackInTime (root)' uses gksudo to become root. This is only necessary if you want to backup the whole system or files that are not accessible by your current user. If you only want to backup your home you should rather run BackInTime with your user.
