Q: I see “Rsync exit code 24” (Vanished Files) in the logs. Is my backup broken?
A: No, your backup is likely fine.
Error 24 means “File vanished during source-filter.” This happens when a temporary file (like a browser cache file or a lock file) exists when rsync scans the directory but is deleted by the system before rsync can copy it. BmuS automatically detects this code and considers the backup “Successful” (Green status) because no important data was lost.
