Hi,

Would someone kindly point me to the remedy for the following message?

What document should I read to guide me to resolution of this issue?

I have 1157 of these messages.

2026-07-16 01:24:05  admin : BackupPC_refCountUpdate: missing pool
file 2f168f994f2744a2c4c9046b821ebcc1 count 1

I don't know how long this has been happening, sadly.

Cpool is V4 (90% of it was converted from V3, 10% is newly created V4
daily backups)
Running backuppc, version 4.4.0
Ubuntu 24.04 Instance on a Proxmo install.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated

Ron Colcernian
