Hi,

thanks for the patch, which will be included in the next release.
I think you backuped to an ntfs filesystem which doesn't support sockets?

To avoid the error message (useless try to store sockets), you also may set
exceptTypes=S

Hi,

In storeBackup.pl version 3.4.2, when option --lateLinks is used and one or more errors occur during the backup, references between backups are not created correctly.

File ".storeBackupLinks/linkTo" is created in the new backup directory without corresponding ".storeBackupLinks/linkFrom<N>" files in referenced backup directories.

Attached file "storeBackupMount.pl.out" is a logfile from a backup that has this problem.
Attached file "storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl.out" is the logfile from the resulting failed run of storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl.

The attached patch seems to fix the issue for me.
