When I run backups I get this warning:

"You have database tables whose name starts with a form of the database prefix (XXX) which has a different letter case. This WILL cause problems if you restore your site on Windows or macOS. We strongly recommend excluding all tables which do not start with the configured prefix, exactly as shown above (case-sensitive)."

However, I've looked and don't see any tables in the DB with this problem (though I do have tables in the DB that do NOT start with this prefix).

I am able to restore the backups on my MacOS, so it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

Why am I seeing this error, and how can I correct it?

(I know this is a Joomla 3 site, I'm preparing to migrate it to J4, and wanted to make sure this error wasn't a problem before I start the migration process -- want to be certain the backups are ok before I begin!)

Thanks, log file from most recent backup attached. Line 1428 contains the error.
