Topic: Too many open files?

Hi,

I'm running this in screen to do the first backup as it's unlikely it'll process in a single day but am getting the following error after a few accounts:

opendir: Too many open files
Process -1 dead!
opendir: Too many open files
Process -1 dead!

Any ideas why this is happening?
