Tim, it's OK now !

You are right ;-)

I had checked and suppress some folders and keep only "/etc" BEFORE
write on the ML...

but NEVER I think to remove this stupid empty line at the bottom of the
folders list on the Xfer page ! ...

Now I click on "delete" and suppress the line, and all is normal.
BackupPC finish correctly. No error message ;-)


Thank a lot for your very fast (and intersting) reply  ;-)


I make a note on my blog (en français) about this problem and the
solution, because I search a long time and it can be useful for other

;-)
