Hi guys, I’m getting indexing files error in scylla backup and because of this the backups got disturbed abruptly.

We are currently addressing this issue manually by first deleting the old task and then recreating the same task in Scylla Manager. This process helps us reset the task, ensuring that the new configuration or settings are applied properly. While this is a temporary workaround, we’re monitoring the situation closely to ensure it resolves the issue for now.

This is an exact (same screenshot) dup of [Backup fails with indexing files error](https://forum.scylladb.com/t/backup-fails-with-indexing-files-error/4612) which is waiting on user reply.

@Guy is there a way of marking this issue as dup and closing it in our forum?
