Re: Fwd: Error messages while backing up

[Eric Zolf]

Hi Mike,

the UpdateError ... "does not match source" hints at the fact that the 
backed-up file was modified while the backup took place. It seems that 
you've done an `apt upgrade` while doing the backup. If it wasn't the 
case and it happens repeatedly, then it could be worrying, else it only 
means that those individual files have not been backed-up. Overall the 
backup should be fine, the end of the output is important to confirm this.

In general, don't send a screenshot of the terminal, just copy&paste the 
pure text from the terminal.

KR, Eric
