What is the meaning of the leading 11 charcaters in each line of the Last Log View ?
For example, the leading 11 characters in a number of my BIT snapshot logs are: cf...p..... Where is the meaning of these characters defined/explained? I can't se any information in the help file, the user documentation of the FAQs.

Hello, can you please have a look at our improved FAQ and give us feedback if this would help. https://github.com/buhtz/backintime/blob/faq/FAQ.md Please feel free to suggest improvements and corrections in the related PullRequest you can find here: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/pull/1576 Kind Christian
Now that I have 'discovered' responses to my mailing list posts, I'm more than willing to review the updated FAQ: Conclusion: no change to your updated FAQ is required (aside from watching for the referred-to URLs changing). Actually, it is a smart solution: point to places where my question had already been answered, and thereby eliminate the possibility of introducing errors. So, I think your recent update is completely satisfactory. if I had realised that these11 characters are generated by rsync, and not by BIT, I would have gone to the rsync man pages, which are more than adequately comprehensive. In terms of the original information, to which you point, the second reference (to the Stackoverflow article) is well laid-out and easy to follow.
