@jborg wouldn't it be a good idea to automatically (detect support for and) create filesystem snapshots before doing backups? i've had good experience with those writing bup-cron, since bup also freaks out if files change or disappear before its index

Today I 've got the following error:
I presume the filesystem has changed between backup processing phases. Of course I can exclude
