Always exclude /var/named/chroot/proc/ from your backups. backing it up isn't needed. See: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/prockcore-what-is-i...

Thank you for the suggestion !
so now i backup /var/ with the follwing command:
rsync -a --progress --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/root/exclude-pattern /var/ ~freedom/backup/var/
it seems fine as no error message is generated but is there any more efficient alternative ?
