Hello,
what did support say about that message (case number please)?

I found some support cases that were related to BTRFS, but guessing that kind of message on a forum makes little sense to me.

Best regards,
Hannes

sounds like free version with "best effort" support. As it is only a warning... do you see any issues? Or is everything working?

[rokko74]

I've not seen any issues, but i never tried a full machine restore, so I don't know the real impact of the warning.
Anyway I found in Job.log that it is caused by UEFI secure boot:

Code: Select all

Job.log:[22.06.2022 10:28:03.397] <140182325003840> lpbcore| ERR |/usr/sbin/grub2-install: errore: this utility cannot be used for EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot.

Hi,

Would you share your log bundle? Just throw it on a gdrive or something.

Thanks!
