Hello,

I constantly see these errors in backup. Backups seems to be fine, but not sure if this would be an issue:

Can the content in dump/ folder safely be deleted? It seems there are still files in it from a long time ago and it keeps there
 
Hi,
what backup tool are you using? This doesn't look like the output Proxmox VE would generate. You should contact the developer of that tool to ask about any issues.
 
I use the backup functionality in Proxmox VE itself. The backup goes to a PBS server
So no, no external plugins or something
