Hello DATACH_TECHNOLOGIES,

We occasionally observe such errors with our clients, which may be attributed to network issues. Could you please clarify if this error occurs regularly or only once?

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

We also get this error when setting dropbox as the target location.
It looks like the error occurs as soon as the back-up size exceeds 100GB.
