Hi there,

I tried to make a backup from my Bitbucket server with bitbucket-backup-client.

It failes with the response below:

I'm running bitbucket server 4.85 and bitbucket-bakcup-client 3.34

Thanks in advance

Hi @S S,

 

It could be that the Java version used to run the Backup client is Java 9.

 

If that's the case, can you try to use any version of Java 8 (for example 1.8.0_162) and see if that makes a difference?

 

Cheers,
