I've started using boxbackup - and have configured it to backup my home
directory... about 14-15GB. It took about 20 hours (bbstored seeming to
take most resources) and - then with a reassuring 14764mb in the backup
directory... I get this cryptic email:

FILES MAY NOT BE BACKED UP

Please check the logs on server.

If the backup really is OK, then that shouldn't be an error... IMHO...
but I checked the logs - just in case.

I don't see any errors reported in the log... Which makes me wonder - is
this email evidence of a bug, or is it a glitch with my configuration?
I'm using the default packages for boxbackup-client and boxbackup-server
on Ubuntu Server 10.10. The executables report:
Box Backup Store Server v0.11rc2+2502, (c) Ben Summers and contributors
2003-2008
Box Backup Client v0.11rc2+2502, (c) Ben Summers and contributors 2003-2008
I re-created my configuration from scratch... because I want continuous
backup, as opposed to a snapshot approach.
