It looks like you can touch the [DB files](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/fatal-error-detected-non-empty-blocksets-with-no-associated-blocks/5938/36) and it solves the issue.

Before the above fix, I get the same issue in the same conditions, for more details and for the workaround [see here](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-robustness-reliability/7448). You can also check [here](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/how-to-recover-backup-with-damaged-dblock-file/5312/14) and [here](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/how-to-recover-backup-with-damaged-dblock-file/5312/16) for the detailed workaround.
