[rdiff-backup-users] Q: special files (sockets etc) backed up to "nodev" mounted media

[Jens Benecke]

Hi,

I started backing up my system to a local directory and later this directory
was remounted with "nosuid,nodev,noexec". Everything is fine though, except
for this

$ /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --print-statistics
--exclude-globbing-filelist /usr/local/sbin/backup.exclude / /home/.BACKUP/

What is this? Do I need to worry?
