Comment 4 for bug 649858

An update to my previous post above.

If I check the "continue on errors" option the backup completes but with (FAILED) next to the snapshot date. As expected I guess. As an experiment I installed luckybackup and ran a backup of the /home/user folder and it completed OK. The end of the luckybackup log looks very similar to the BiT log and shows the same rsync error at the end.

Luckybackup end of log below
Number of files: 28194
Number of files transferred: 26374
Total file size: 7.10G bytes
Total transferred file size: 7.10G bytes
Literal data: 7.10G bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 1.00M
File list generation time: 0.891 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 7.11G
Total bytes received: 506.58K
sent 7.11G bytes received 506.58K bytes 15.88M bytes/sec
total size is 7.10G speedup is 1.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]

From this it looks like BiT is actually completing the task of the snapshots as it's producing the file size / sent / received summaries and the last rsync error similar to last lines of the luckybackup log. But for some reason BiT thinks the backup has failed. Is it that last error that's the problem?
