The BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE+=( '/proc/*' '/run/*' '/sys/*' '/dev/pts/*' '/var/tmp/*' '/mnt/*' '/media/*' ) mentioned in PR https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3557/files#diff-fb7fc6f9d05aa522bbe5c8fa5afd2d4c765bf64ff569b5c740fa59e0a9ae0cf2 was not commented why these are needed or required, and shouldn’t be there as it might conflict with the general ReaR exclude settings.

A recover test after commenting out this line showed no negative impact. Therefore, we better comment this line via a PR.
