Big chance it is the same as #40422 Incorrect datetime value  as we are at the same date more or less. I never had any issue and suddenly this message. Should I worry or just wait and retry later?

Serveur in Switzerlaand, I am in French Polynesia ... so I know time zone is a night mare.

Thank you

Best regards

It's exactly the same thing as you have in that older ticket. Last night –the early hours of March 30th, 2025– daylight savings time came into effect. The same problem will repeat itself around the end of October when daylight savings time is turned off.

To avoid these problems make sure your backups don't run during the daylight savings time switchover.
