Indeed, it is exactly 2,152,573 bytes.
So basically Duplicati is tripping over its own feet, or something?
Unfortunately, things are only getting worse. Today (i.e. “next run”) I not only got

Duplicati.Library.Interface.UserInformationException: Found 123 files that are missing from the remote storage, please run repair

I checked a couple of the missing files and, indeed, none of them is in the storage. But why? I’m actually starting to suspect pcloud to be the perpetrator. as they also seem to have lost some other files of mine. The only (but significant) difference between the two incidents is that duplicati is accessing pcloud directly via webdav while the loss with duplicacy occurred via pclouds own client. So for cases to be explained by a bug on pclouds side, it would have to be a pretty fat bug, covering both interfaces.
UPDATE: This is weird: after running repair (without any error), I went back to the logs but I can no longer find the message with the missing files. There is no fatal error on the entire log page! I don’t understand. Does Duplicacy modify the logs after it repaired the database? If not (which I assume), then my next guess would be that when I previsously got the red error message, clicking on “view” did not bring me to the same place as I am looking at now. But where?
Also, I suspect that those missing files somehow were not missing in the end because when I ran the backup after the repair completed, it went rather fast so that I suspect not many files were uploaded. In any case, it was too fast for it to upload all the 123 missing files.
