Hi,

We are using pgbackrest (2.21) to backup out postgresql (11) clusters.
Last night our nightly diff backup gave me the
ERROR: unable to convert base 10 string '0000000B' to unsigned int.
I tried if a full backup would fix this, but it didn't.

Maybe I'm missing something, but 0000000B looks hexadecimal, not decimal.

Luckily this was only on our development/test cluster, so it is not a real
problem, but what is going on here and what would be the best way to fix this?

The last few lines of the log (with --log-level-console=info) are:
