Severity: normal

Hi.

I think I've implemented a potential fix for this (I consider this lack of 
locking a bug, as it can stop long backups to work at all).

See my proposed change here : 
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/olberger-guest/backupninja.git;a=blobdiff;f=src/backupninja.in;h=f6a5b0e9faf61372703dd2e260d8640cd97abc2d;hp=aadc162175a1a16e8c1bb37538c5680123e47ddb;hb=c5832421a551550a87dc4ff1062ae659b67b332e;hpb=6ad15139e00ef378ee035b15c25cf7a40127e689

It uses flock from util-linux.

I think it is preferable to the use of lckdo, which seems to be deprecaded, now 
that flock is there.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
