Hey all,
I’m posting this to the forum since I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not, and I couldn’t find this error here or in GitHub. When running a backup on Windows 11 with:
PS C:\Windows\system32> restic_0.16.2_windows_amd64.exe --repo rest:https://username:password@backup_server.example.tld:3000/username backup --use-fs-snapshot -v C:\Users\MyUser
I get the following output:

Can I ignore the error: invalid node type ""
messages, or is it a bug? What does it mean? I can open a bug report in GitHub if necessary, and also do further tests.
Thanks
