Well due to issues with losing data on previous hosts, I have started making often Cpanel Full Backups of my wordpress blog.

Heres my problem: when I download the tar.gz of these backups I get errors each time. The errors I have gotten are shown below:

Just wondering if these errors will actually affect me trying to restore these files in the future.

Thanks.

While those files are a part of the full backup, they are not a part of your actualy site. They are for your logs and logging software.

Ok thanks a lot, was just checking to ensure I haven't been making useless backups :)
