Re: [BackupPC-users] Scoket Files

[Ali B. <Ben...@dr...>]

Hi,

You don't need to backup any "socket files", try to stop you mail or whatev=
er=20
service and you will not see that file anymore. There are created automatic=
ly=20
and are used as a way of communication for local process,

You can safely exclude those files from the backup, just keep the directori=
es.
