Warning icon on a backup with no errors (or warnings)


prl

Recommended Posts

Most of my backups end up with the yellow triangle warning symbol against their Activities entry when they complete.

 

For example, this backup log got a warning triangle. Why?

I'm seeing the same sort of thing and I'm guessing it's because of this

I don't know what these 1603 files are, but I suspect they are probably empty files that were recorded in the snapshot but not actually copied (because they are empty). Or perhaps (but less likely) they are files that were excluded from the backup.

That makes a bit more sense, but in the case of the empty files, why consider it a warning if that's the correct behaviour? My filter settings are for "All Files Except Cache Files".
