Backup fails with "EIO: i/o error, close", "uuid is duplicated", "unexpected number of entries in backup cache"

And another one.....

For the last week or so, the backup on one particular VM gives this error:

VM2 (xcp-ng-2)

The host is running xcp beta 3 (updated through 5-12-24), XO is version "Xen Orchestra, commit 9b9c7".
This VM and numerous other VM's back up the same way (goes to two different NFS targets) for the last five months.
I've tried running it in the middle of the day (when other backups are not running) but it didn't help.
Backup type = “Delta Backup”
"Number of retries if VM backup fails"=0
"Timeout " = <blank>
"Compression"="zstd"
Any ideas?

Scratch that one.....I should have googled first. I saw that someone suggested deleting the cache.json.gz file. I did and ran it again and it worked.
