I've been having some problems with duplicity to backup my root folder to an external drive. The code using is:
sudo duplicity full -v4 --no-encryption --exclude /mnt/ / file:///run/media/jjonker/backup-c/ which then returns:
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed. Last full backup date: none Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1/clear_refs Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1/clear_refs Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1/mem Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1/mem Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1/task/1/clear_refs Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1/task/1/clear_refs Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1/task/1/mem Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1/task/1/mem Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/10/clear_refs Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/10/clear_refs Error accessing possibly locked file /proc/10/exe Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/10/task/10/clear_refs Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/10/task/10/clear_refs Error accessing possibly locked file /proc/10/task/10/exe Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1086/clear_refs Error [Errno 22] Invalid argument getting delta for /proc/1086/clear_refs Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1086/mem Error [Errno 5] Input/output error getting delta for /proc/1086/mem Killed I'm running duplicity version 0.7.17
Any clues how I can solve this? Can I simply exclude the /proc/ folder?
Thanks
/procis a special folder, some kind of view that allow access to process info or kernel data. It should not be backuped or monitored.
