Description
This error occurs due to the introduction of the "scope" directory within a cPanel user's "userdata" directory. For example: /var/cpanel/userdata/cpaneluser/scope/
We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is CPANEL-50845. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product.
Workaround
You may disregard the error as long as no other errors were reported during the backup or transfer. This error does not prevent backups from completing.
