Hi,
How would one get rid of this persisting error? Pruning did not do away with it.

error: node "file1", last"file1": nodes are not ordered or duplicate

Thanks much

It appeared one day during backup and stayed ever since. I am unsure what caused it.

open repository
lock repository
using parent snapshot <>
load index files

What version of restic?
What repo destination?
What command?

You think people can see your screen?

This is a filesystem problem not a restic problem; the folder in question contains two files with the same name. Please run fsck / chkdsk to fix. In recent restic versions, this error has been downgraded to a warning so that the backup still completes. But either way please repair the filesystem.
