I got this error when my incremental backups were empty. I would browse the
backup and get this error in the gui but not in Apache logs.
The incremental backups were empty because my incremental command was
wrong(missing N flag).
I troubleshoot this by checking the backups at the command line with Du.
Hope that helps.
Sent from my phone. Please pardon my brevity,
