These are the last lines pretty much except for some log out that lists what
directories are being backed up and archive sizes summary. I can share more
from this file if needed.
I checked launch control and now after I changes the version in path from 1.0
to 1.0.1 it doesn’t show any error in that field or any field (earlier it was;
something like “file not found”) but the entry still shows “Error 78” which on
googling I found means “not implemented”.
Regards.
