This may not be the correct place to post, but I am trying to find a solution to this issue.

I just started using rclone to backup my files from a Proxmox node to a remote location on a Synology NAS.
However, I realized that partial backups could complicate things using rclone alone.
I saw reports that Restic had the ability to resume from partial or failed attempts for a complete backup at once.
Hence I have been trying to do a backup utilizing rclone as a restic backend.
I mounted the rclone remote using restic and initiated a backup with

Restic -r rclone:remotemis01:Backups/restic/misnode01 backup --verbose /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemuXXXXXXXX

While the backup is running, I get this repeated message throughout.
Is this okay or is there some real problem going on?

unable to refresh lock: blob not removed, server response: 500 Internal Server Error (500)
[6:48:57] 34.22% 0 files 26.033 GiB, total 1 files 76.075 GiB, 0 errors ETA 13:06:06

Thank you for any assistance or information provided.
