Hello,
I have been using mondorescue to backup to dvd for several
months now
without any problems.
Since upgrading to Centos 4.4, I now receive a few errors.
The errors
are for files in /var/named/chroot/proc. I guess these
files change
so when I do a differntial backup they aren't there and result in errors. (Never got any errors before and I think these files were there in 4.3) If I exclude the files from the backup, no errors.
My question is what, if any problems would I run into not backing these files up and having to do a complete system restore?
TIA,
Eddie
You shouldn't run into any problems really since files within "proc" aren't really there to begin with; they're resident in memory only and disappear when the machine shuts down or reboots.

Thanks, Mark!
Kinda what I figured but wanted a second opinion. The errors I received were 'files not found'. So this answers my question.
Again, thanks!
