Add a line from 'sudo' file to your sudo config

cp etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-backuppc /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-backuppc

Copy 'zabbix-backuppc.pl' and 'zabbix-discover-backuppc.pl' to '/usr/local/bin'

cp usr/local/bin/*.pl /usr/local/bin

Make it executable with backuppc user

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/*.pl
