Michael Eischer 403b01b788 backup: Only return a warning for duplicate directory entries
The backup command failed if a directory contains duplicate entries.
Downgrade the severity of this problem from fatal error to a warning.
This allows users to still create a backup.

Enhancement: Improve handling of directories with duplicate entries
If for some reason a directory contains a duplicate entry, this caused the
backup command to fail with a `node "path/to/file" already present` or `nodes
are not ordered got "path/to/file", last "path/to/file"` error.
The error handling has been changed to only report a warning in this case. Make
sure to check that the filesystem in question is not damaged!
