Why are you backing up /run?
The entries are volatile and are cleared on reboot so you should
exclude them.

It's probably also worth mentioning that under Linux, BSD, and other
Unix-type systems in general there are a few other directories which
should not be backed up - nor, indeed, even accessed unnecessarily.
For example raw hardware devices, including mass storage devices, are
exposed in the filesystem. To mess with them carelessly is perilous.
