Hi,

we are using Kopano Backup 8.6.8.10-0+23.1 on a UCS 4.3.3 -errata 419. When starting the backup (kopano-backup -w 3 -l INFO), we get a number of errors like this:

2019-02-09 22:31:10,518 - backup0 - INFO - backing up: et
2019-02-09 22:34:06,820 - backup2 - ERROR - Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1517, in _raiseerror
    raise err
ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 0

I found the following posting, stating that the error should be fixed in version 8.2, but it is still there.

Should we care about this error? Would it be possible to perform a restore with this backup?

Thanks for any hints or suggestion.

Regards,

Stefan
