Hi, You don't need to backup any "socket files", try to stop you mail or whatever service and you will not see that file anymore. There are created automaticly and are used as a way of communication for local process,
You can safely exclude those files from the backup, just keep the directories. On Saturday 23 June 2007 00:14, Arron Cox wrote: > Hi, > I have an issue where my backups on a linux box would not run.
