Status in Back In Time: Confirmed

Bug description:
I've just noticed that my daily backups have been failing for the past few 
days, I suspect that this is is because I've moved some large folders and am 
encountering problems space problems as a result.

A WARNING  message is written to the messages log file, but it is truncated at 
1028 characters (as are several other INFO messages),  leaving me with no 
meaningful information as to what it is trying to tell me. It's important that 
backup failures are reported very clearly and explicitely. I'd expect the 
failure to be reported as ERROR, or possibly even FATAL.

Eg

Would it be possible for you to use multiple log statements sequentially to 
split the log line across as many lines as necessary?
