I’m just getting started with Duplicacy, so please excuse me if there’s some easy solution to this that I’ve missed and point me in the right direction.
On my first backup I see a message stating:
2021-02-16 17:06:36.035 WARN BACKUP_SKIPPED 9 files were not included due to access errors
So, I started digging through the log file trying to figure out what the backup process didn’t have access to, but the only thing I’ve found is this:
2021-02-16 17:04:17.633 WARN LIST_SKIP Skipped non-regular file homes/David/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent
2021-02-16 17:04:17.633 WARN LIST_SKIP Skipped non-regular file homes/David/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser

Are these skipped “non-regular files” being logged as “access errors”, or are there actually nine other files not being backed up somewhere that I need to find and address permission issues on?
“Non-regular files” makes it sound like this is an intentional exclusion more than files being skipped because of access errors. And, if it is an error, what are we supposed to do about the error? Manually filtering all “non-regular” files as we find them by digging through logs to find what was missed/skipped/excluded sounds like a royal pain. Is there a way to turn off this error message and just accept that “non-regular” files are not included in the backup?
