Screenshot showing errors backing up socket file types.
SUMMARY
If socket file types are attempted to be backed up, red error messages appear
in the output.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run a backup that includes directories containing socket file types. (e.g.
/run)
2. Backup finishes OK, but reports "some files were skipped"
3. There are a lot of errors saying, "Can not archive file type 'socket'"
4. Most of the reported files are in /run, /var/lib, and /tmp, which I include
in my backups "just in case".
OBSERVED RESULT
See attachment.
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice not to see all the errors so that ACTUAL errors stand out more
(if any).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Rocky linux 9.6 X86_64
Kbackup version 23.08.5 - Installed from the EPEL 9 Repository.
GNOME desktop 40.4.0
Wayland window system.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not a "KDE on GNOME" problem... Kbackup runs well on Gnome. :-)
Obviously I could just exclude /run/* , /var/lib/* , and /tmp/* using filters,
but that would also exclude some regular files.
Am I wrong about that? Perhaps those directories never contain files that are
meaningful to back up. Except perhaps /tmp which I sometimes use when moving
things around.
Is this addressed in a newer version? (wondering if EPEL is serving an old
version.)
