<![CDATA[Backup: IMPORT_ERROR_PREMATURE_EOF()]]>Hi

I've got this error and no Idea how to troubleshoot that, everything looks and works fine, and from time to time I've got Error: IMPORT_ERROR_PREMATURE_EOF() on random VMs in backup status.

What this error means? is this related to storage layer? disk/raid problems?

Do you need better logs?

Are you using compression? Do you have all updates installed on all hosts? Is XOA up to date?

Double check you have enough disk space on your host (on the root and log partitions).
