No Warnings

During a backup I realised that I was backing up a number of very large and completely unwanted files. I paused the backup, deleted the files (including some that had already been backed up) and carried on. At the end of the backup there was nothing to show that anything unusual had happened. Is this the expected behaviour?

Missing files are logged as GONE, but only show up in a full log, perhaps we should move these to the normal log, especially as we try to discourage people using the full log except when fault finding.

Tough call! Obviously I knew what was going on, and I can imagine it being a normal situation in some environments - could it be an option?
