Re: [rdiff-backup-users] error : af_unix path too long

[roland]

afaik, rdiff-backup cannot handle unix domain sockets.
in most cases, it doesn´t give any sense to back them up, anyway. most 
applications will (re-)create those files at runtime.

try the following commandline option:

--exclude-sockets
             Exclude all socket files.

regards
roland
