Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to cxapm 3.0 and running a Vertica backup using the vbr.py utility, we are seeing this warning in the backup log:

/tmp/vbr/vbr_2017-02-07-090006.log

..

…

 

We need to know what is causing this and if it has an impact on the backup?

There is an internal defect open and they will fix it in a future build.

Environment

CAPM data repository 3.x
