Skipped files on backup

Hi there. I am trying to migrate from Duplicati to Duplicacy after suffering database and performance issues after a system failure. I am running the trial software in a Docker container (erichough’s container).

During my first backup, there are a number of files which are skipped and the description in the log says “irregular file”. Most of these files have something to do with Docker containers I suspect. I have had no problems in the past copying these folders with rsync so I am wondering why Duplicacy struggles with these files and what I can do to ensure a 100% backup of all files.

I have made a couple of screenshots of the log file to give an example.

Thanks.

These files don’t have the S_IFREG flag set. There is no point in backing them up – some aren’t even readable.
