Please kindly see below the output from my current BiT setup to an attached USB drive (backing up /home with all four options enabled in auto-remove). Could somebody who has a moment and understands please examine the error messages? There are several types of errors and I would like to know what they mean so that I can understand the status of my backups.
In addition, I currently have four backups for October but BiT is unable to remove three of them (there are some error messages relating to this). September and November, however, each have only one backup retained.
Thanks! Martin
