I am no perl expert, but here is my take on the messages in the logs.  If the messages are all warnings, I don't think that would be why BPC is exiting. Nonetheless, here is how I think the messages can be eliminated, but without having tested the suggestions (sorry!). It looks like removing

[BackupPC-users] Different strategies on same host

I want to have a different strategy for backing up photos than for backing up documents that I am editing.  Basically, it would be a rare event to do a full backup of my photos.   I assume that the host name, say myPC, must correspond to myPC.pl in the pc folder. Does it sound reasonable to

I just mention the files by name, and they get backed up e.g. /etc/fstab This is in the same list having folders e.g. /etc/Backuppc so, do you have more clues regarding the failed backup of the files?  What is in the transfer log (3rd column of the "Xfer Error Summary" table. On 2023-05-25

It is my understanding that most installers create the user, "backuppc".  If logging out and back in does not fix this, then the  docker installation omitted this step.  Creating the user, manually, should fix this. On 2022-12-02 09:41, Mister Ed wrote: I have installed the BackupPC docker

I suppose it depends what "idle" signifies.  From your response (thank you), I understand that "idle" is the correct state for the system to be in i.e. it does not signify a process that is waiting to complete something it is currently unable to complete. On 2021-11-02 00:53, Dave Sherohman
