[rdiff-backup-users] questions about error messages meaning

[frache]

Hi,

making my backup with rdiff-backup, I got the following error messages - 
and i'm afraid about theyr meaning : how is the state of my backups ?

I'm using rdiff-backup 0.10.1 on redhat 7.3.

by the way, it could be very usefull if rdiff could build a repport at 
the end of the backup process, and tell more about 1/ the result of the 
backups (succes or not), 2/ wich files failed, and why, and 3/ is the 
coherence of the backup ok ? If my yesterday backup failed, are all 
oldest backup lost ? I do netheir understand what this long error 
messages mean nor if my backup coherence is still ok.


thank you for your help.

Philippe.
