Re: Does anybody have any use of error_log?

[Patrik Dufresne]

Hello Eric,

Thanks for asking !

To give you a recent example. A new customer of mine has an error with it's
backup and the following lines get added to error_log.

ListError
Data/Projets2019/Photos_Maison_Halle/Photos_Maison_Halle/Espaces_au-dessus_des_portes/Poutrelle_01.jpg
[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'D:/Data/Projets2019/Photos_Maison_Halle/Photos_Maison_Halle/Espaces_au-dessus_des_portes/Poutrelle_01.jpg'

In rdiffweb, these errors get displayed when the file contains something.

This could certainly be improved to get more error printed into this file
as I've discover many are not getting written in that file.
