I have the same issue. It used to work perfectly, but it suddenly stopped for an unknown reason. Earlier this week I changed the settings so it would backup in the evening (normally it is in the middle of the night) so I could monitor it and that worked perfectly. After that I changed it back to the normal time (3 AM) and the error is back. Just like your logging mine also only states that there is an error, but no mention of WHAT error.

Same happens for me unfortunately :/
EDIT: managed to fix it by deleting all temp. backup from the backup directory (after SSHing) and restarting my machine.
