Please run Systemback in terminal emulator, and if you get this error message, read the error output. If a file/dir/link that is causing this problem, it will print. If not print out anything, also says a lot.

What the source? Live system, installed system or restoration point? If you try to copy this file manually with 'cp -a' command, do you get an error?

cp -a /var/log/mdm/:0.log.2 /tmp

Ah, so you tried to reinstall the system with unformatted partition(s)? Now, I see the problem with log items in this situation, and I will fixing soon. Thanks for reporting.

Hi Kendek,

I have updated to the latest version, 1.1.0.100_09.14.2014
I seem to have partial success.

On Linux Mint17 Cinnamon,
Can create live image, write to USB stick and it Boots fine.

However on Linux Lite 2.0(Ubuntu 14.04)
I still have issues.?

First run,
dave@hp-laptop:~$ sudo systemback
[sudo] password for dave:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic

 Systemback worker thread error because the following item:

 @/home/dave/.mozilla/extensions

so I do a second run, with the .mozzilla excluded,
dave@hp-laptop:~$ sudo systemback
[sudo] password for dave:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic

 Systemback worker thread error because the following item:

 @/home/dave/.mozilla/extensions

dave@hp-laptop:~$

please let me know if there is anything else to try, or information you need.?

Thanks for your support
David
