Then got exception.

More information.
I excluded /home/bertd/.VirtualBox
and did backup over again.
It did not get an exception.

I looked at all the files in .VirtualBox. The only thing strange is
that these files are large. On is about 4.3 gigabytes and another
about 10.

I am thinking that manent may have some problem with files longer than
2**32 bytes.

[Alex Gontmakher]

Oops, that was a typo. Apparently, I haven't tested files this large yet.

I have pushed a fix to git (search github for manent), you can pull the version directly or wait for a new release.

I won't open a ticket for this.

And btw., I have also excluded .VirtualBox from my backup: it's much more efficient to run manent from within the virtual machine.
