    I had a failing backup last night, not sure if it's a one time thing since it never happened before, but reporting it anyways. This is what it said:

    Backup failed: du error: Command failed: du -Dsb "/home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail" du: cannot access '/home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/vmail/user@example.com/mail/dovecot-uidlist.lock': No such file or directory . Logs are available here.

      @msbt ah, i guess a transient lock file "disappeared" on du . I guess we need to see if du supports ignoring these errors.

        OK, I have added --exclude='*.lock' . There seems to be no other way to ignore errors.

          Might not be limited to „lock“ files: Today I had a similar error (first time ever!)

          du error: Command failed: du -Dsb "/home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail" du: cannot access '/home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/vmail/[REDACTED]/mail/dovecot.list.index.log.2': No such file or directory
