It doesn't make much sense to back them up anyway, IMHO.I tried adding --exclude-sockets to the command line but it had no effect, the backup again failed with the same SpecialFileError as above.
Could it be that the SpecialFileErrors are unimportant?
I found that the rdiif-backup program exited with 0 even tough while it was running there were SpecialFileError messages and the listed statistics reported 2 errors. Based on this finding I ran the program again. There had been no files added, changed or delelted and this second run completed quickly reporting no errors_______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at address@hidden https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-usersWiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
