I have about 700 machines using rdiff-backup for backing up some files. Among those files are also log files, that may change while the backup was initiated. LVM is not used on those machines, so I can't use the fancy snapshot option and I can't be sure all machines will have enough space to make a copy in a different directory. I'm interested in keeping log files, though I don't care about those last minute changes - unfortunately it seems that rdiff-backup doesn't save these files at all...
Is there an option to make rdiff-backup be quiet about such errors? Maybe some sorts of '--changing-files' that would tell rdiff-backup that it's OK for these files to change during backup and that it should store whatever it will get? Also - what causes 'File changed from regular file before signature' errors? I'm pretty sure nobody is changing, deleting or doing anything to my backup files, yet I get about 30-40 of these every night...
