OK, update on the above. Taking google drive ocamlfuse out of the mix solved the problem. I am now backing up locally and syncing the backup with Insync. Two backups have run without incident. I haven't tried a restore yet but all looks good so far. Looking at this with some of the other posts above concerning permissions issues, etc. it sounds like the error message above is non-specific and gets thrown when there are access and perhaps other issues. In my case I think it was due to ocamlfuse trying to catch up after moving a bunch of backup files.
