Appears to have been introduced here, which includes code to fix the issue yet it continues to recur during each backup.

The backups appear to complete successfully, so I don't know if these warnings are benign or indicative of a larger issue.

Thoughts?

Any hint @julien-f ?

@Danp Yes, this is normal, it's because after the merge, the size of the oldest backup has changed.

We could fix that but it's not a priority and won't change anything except getting rid of the warning.

We'll see how many reports we get regarding this

One more from me. But it was actually your tech support that discovered them in conjunction with a ticket we have open.
