[rdiff-backup-users] New to Rdiff - need help with some error messages

[Chris Young]

I am new to Rdiff-backup. I looked at the last error log and this is
what I found:

UpdateError
home/httpd/vhosts/hammockspecials.com/statistics/logs/access_log Updated
mirror temp file
/home/backup/ns1.synergydns.net/backup/home/httpd/vhosts/hammockspecials

/home/backup/ns1.synergydns.net/backup/var/log/rdiff-backup.tmp.1725
does not match source
SpecialFileError var/run/fpcgisock Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long

Are the UpdateError messages where file does not match source likely
just from files that were changing during the backup? I notice that most
if not all are log files.

Also what is the SpecialFileError that mentions path too long?

I guess I don't want to worry about log files but I do want to back them
up.

I would like to eventually have critical errors emailed to me so I don't
have to dig through the error logs. Are there any specific error
messages I should watch out for?

Thanks.
