I’m running Kopia for a few months now, I’m impressed by the capabilities and functionalities provided!
I’ve started with a few directories to back up and also regularly running a maintenance (“kopia maintenance run --full”). It was running flawlessly, but since about 4 weeks the maintenance run is constantly failing with “error decompressing: invalid compression header, expected 00001100 but got 8b174a7c”, whereas backup and restore works fine. Clearing the cache (" kopia cache clear") doesn’t help.
Currently running Kopia 0.15.0 on Linux using a S3-compatible Cloud Storage.
The log from one of the maintenance runs:

It looks similar to:
but this should already be fixed in #1844
If I’m reading the error message correctly it seems to be related to different compression types?! When creating the first backups I’ve tried a few compression options, but later settled on “zstd” for all backups and haven’t changed that lately. Could it be that the maintenance is touching older backups with different compression algorithm and is therefore failing? If so, how to fix this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
