You need to exclude /proc from your backups. It's a virtual file
system maintained by the kernel, and does not need to be backed up.
Here's the excludes we use for Linux hosts:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/dev',
'/proc',
'/tmp_mnt',
'/var/tmp',
'/tmp',
'/net',
'/var/lib/nfs',
'/sys'
]
};
