This typically happens when a PID or other transient file goes away. 0.09 -- - Repeat to yourself -- proper testing includes a try at "make install". 0.11 -- - Add PingCommand directive that specifies command to run to check connection to target system before backup. - Use help from David Stoergel to finish IgnoreVanished. 0.12 -- - Add Timestamp to debug output - Matthias Pfafferodt contributed change to weekly/monthly backup so it is done if more than 7 days or 30 days have elapsed. Before, it would not work unless it was run on first day of week or month, and that could cause a problem when the target system was down on that day. Thanks to Matthias (Matthias.Pfafferodt at the excellent domain mapfa.de). 0.912 -- - Silly me, ran afoul of CPAN's numbering restrictions. 0.913 -- - Didn't know they checked contained modules too, sigh.
