    Hm.
    The idea of an allocation map fits, except neither the backup nor
    the restore command makes any explicit use of one! I can't find
    anything for that particular message ID, either.

    Did you continue with the restore? I don't see how that can do
    any harm, provided that you check the restored data afterwards.
