Hello - I am not code savvy, nor my co-workers. I’ve gotten the error posted below. I don’t know what any of this means - but being that it’s dealing with the backup of the site I am concerned. Does this mean that the site backup isn’t working? Or is it just a random error that really doesn’t matter? Thank you in advance.
If you are a programmer who is good with this, we need help with this sort of stuff - will pay, of course.

It looks like the problem is not with the backup, but with notifying you that it’s compete.
It looks like a bug, though I’ve not confirmed it.
I’m going to recategorize it as a 🐛

As long as the backup is fine then there is no issue.
