When I run a backup on a system where I specify a nonexistent directory to backup, hdup-2.0.4 seems tp go into an infinite loop: [backup@hdup-server backup]$ ssh client sudo /usr/sbin/hdup weekly client @[email protected] /usr/sbin/hdup: client: STARTING BACKUP. /usr/sbin/hdup: WARNING: Cannot stat: /var/bak! /usr/sbin/hdup: WARNING: Cannot stat: /var/bak! /usr/sbin/hdup: WARNING: Cannot stat: /var/bak! ...continues... Of course, creating the directory causes the "warning" to go away. This is a reasonable error to make, and hdup shouldn't go into an infinite loop!
