Hi Mike,

the UpdateError ... "does not match source" hints at the fact that the backed-up file was modified while the backup took place. It seems that you've done an `apt upgrade` while doing the backup. If it wasn't the case and it happens repeatedly, then it could be worrying, else it only means that those individual files have not been backed-up. Overall the backup should be fine, the end of the output is important to confirm this.

In general, don't send a screenshot of the terminal, just copy&paste the pure text from the terminal.

KR, Eric

This is a repeat of my previous message that was rejected for being too long.  I've removed most of the examples of error messages.  I hope this now meets the criteria.

Hi

First I'd like to thank the developers for creating such a great program.

I'm writing because I'm getting an error message when I back up. I've attached screen shots.

When I look at the backed up directory it looks ok, but just in case, I thought I'd ask if I need to worry or not.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 on both the server and the client.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Mike Hart
