Backup doesn't finish cleanly when copying files it has no permissions for #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. tell Flyback to backu /etc
2. start flyback --backup

It gives you the error messages saying cannot access certain files, it then
actually completes the rest of the backup but just haqngs at the end and
does not delete the lockfile

Version 0.4 - Ubuntu Linux 7.10

Same problem here. 

When cron starts the flyback task i can see the "cp -al " process running, but 
it
gets stuck FOREVER on it.

I've just simply ran the cp -al command manually and i saw the problem was cp 
-al
command unable to change owner of files on the remote unit (a SMB shared 
folder).

Once cp -al fails, the flyback process gets frozen....forever, lockfile never 
gets
deleted.
