[bayeslearner]

The VM is created with vagrant under a non-root user. After disabling Apparmor, I'm able to backup as root. I still can't backup as non-root. Should I backup as root or as the regular user? Will this be an issue when I try to restore.

[abbbi]

If vm is Defined in root user namespace only root System User can backup and see it

i think Vagant elevates to root via sudo if executed as regular User.
