I recently got this error on a machine running 2.0.4.38. I searched the forum and didn’t see any other posts about NullReferenceException combined with StreamBlockSplitter so I thought I should start a new topic.
Failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I re-ran the backup job and it worked fine. Not sure what caused it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one before in my 2+ years of Duplicati use.
