Duplicity: invalid argument error backing up /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/user.slice/user-42.slice/cgroup.event_control


Getting an invalid argument error for these and similar files:

/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/user.slice/user-42.slice/cgroup.event_control

when backing up the root directory (excluding /home, /mnt, /proc, /tmp directories).

Are these files to be excluded?

yes - all of /sys. It is analogous to /proc.

Many thanks. I'd seen many articles about /proc but wasn't sure about /sys

Agree! Very important to make sure that the process works both ways. Will test that too 😊
