Backup failure /run/user

client
1

Recently installed v 2.0.33
Works fine until I try to backup user’s home folder on a Ubuntu 16.04 pc.Then system slows to a crawl and evetually locks up.
Get an error.
/run/user/1000 user does not have permission

Turns out that the gnome vfs is the problem
Excluding /run/* sorts it

EDIT: To clarify, it seems that the Gnome desktop virtual filesystem creates files in /run/user without any permissions. (even for root).
Only a problem if you are using that vfs, Xubuntu for example is fine.

well /run should be excluded anyway… together with /dev and /sys as those are “virtual” filesystems which are created on the fly…

I agree, the problem is the Gnome vfs symlink to /run/user/xxxx in the user’s home directory.
I was only trying to backup /home
