Hi all, I have got this error in during my mail server backup:

2010-09-16 06:24:20 ERROR backup of /var/mail/vhosts failed: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284588471.Vfd00I16e0223M187263.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284587441.Vfd00I16e0220M85965.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284588863.Vfd00I16e0225M370937.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284602404.Vfd00I16e022aM416444.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284594551.Vfd00I16e0228M678444.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284588944.Vfd00I16e0226M622591.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284587271.Vfd00I16e021fM96119.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /var/mail/vhosts/host-name/0/user-name/.maildir/cur/1284599458.Vfd00I16e0229M181400.server.host-name\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Is it happened because user deleted his messages?

Is there any way how to prevent this? Well I am assuming it can be happened not only with e-mail backup.

Can I rely on tar & gzip as a mail backup system?
