There are cases where messages about nonfatal errors just annoying: it is normal that laptops not connected to the network several days or some files appeared or vanished in mail server maildir during backup process. But if you backing up server running 24x7, having good backup strategy in place, then errors very rarely happens but sometimes need immediate attention. I like BackupPC as "set it forget it" solution, and don't want browse CGI every day just to see what's going on. In this case I want be just warned that something goes wrong (no need for fine-grained error messages). Also in some cases backup copy of every file and every version of file make sense.

For example if source host directory path is very long, mangled filename could not be saved on BackupPC v3 file system. -- Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
