Newly installed system with a single VM, and fdisk outputs "The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used."

I have just done a fresh Proxmox installation, and then installed a single VM (Home Assisant using this install script).

My fdisk -l output shows the following error message with regards to the new vm-100-disk-1 partition (which is part of the data LV thin pool):
Code:
The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.

What is causing this on such a newly installed system, is it anything to worry about, and how can I fix it?

Here is the full fdisk output:

The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.
