I have tracked it down, and it happens when the backup fails.  
In pre-2.0.8.0 versions, it will not send any metadata, just the error messages.  
This is interpreted as timestamp 0, using Unix EPOCH, meaning 1970-01-01, or ~55 years ago.  
I expect a fix to arrive soon.

Not sure I follow. Is this caused by multiple backups being grouped by the same machine id?

Yeah, that would resolve everything 🙂

The only open-source solution I know of is the [dupReport monitoring solution](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/announcing-dupreport-a-duplicati-email-report-summary-generator/1116), which is based on email reports.
