14.12.17 08:31 ERROR Constructing of filelist of “com123” failed: ERR
14.12.17 08:31 ERROR Backup had an early error. Deleting partial backup.

Same behaviour for me for a linux client on a raspberry … is there any hint for a possible reason or solution yet?

So I got this error when session_idents.txt is deleted and the client restarted while the server still thinks it is the same client. For example when installing the client in a Docker container and then rebuilding the Docker container.

2.2.x detects handles this error by generating a new session. This works only for file backups currently. So the first file backup would fail and then the next one would work… is this what’s happening?
