What is /private/var/db/fpsd/dvp?

Carbon Copy Cloner gives me an error when I finish backing up, saying I can't copy this file to my backup drive because it didn't have permissions. What is it, and is it safe to use the backup without this file? When I go to the file in Finder, the folder it's in doesn't give me access.

Not an issue. Yes safe to use the backup without the file.


The fpsd daemon is directly linked to iTunes, in the part of Core framework. Not copied for privacy concerns.
