I'm just configuring a new BackupPC v4.4 (on Debian, using packages from the 
repo), and encounter this kind of errors systematically. It's not a corruption 
due to some hardware fault, but clearly a bug in BackupPC.
All my backups seem to work fine (no xfer error), but the nightly cleanup show 
lots of errors like

This is running on a full NVMe ZFS pool (RAID10 like with 4 mirror pairs), I 
tried with BackupPC's compression off (and using ZFS compresseion), or with 
BackupPC's compression (disabling ZFS compression) with the same outcome. This 
pool is used for other stuff (1 relatively busy mariadb server in a VM, one 
Proxmox Backup Server storage pool), and everything is working correctly. Only 
BackupPC is having issues. Looks like I'm not the only one affected, see 
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/494 (although in my case, using 
BackupPC's compression is not fixing the issue).

I tried 3 times to wipe and start from empty pool, but this comes back 
everytime. So there's a bug in BackupPC. It might only be triggered on ZFS (or 
maybe it's related to the speed on the underlying storage, as this one is 
really the fastest I ever used). But there's something. For the first time in 
more than 18 years of using BackupPC, I think I cannot trust my backups 
anymore. The fact that there's no way to fix these errors is very worrying.
