Hi Andriy,  
The below error shows the PITR error. You can provide us with more logs to check this.

` ! ERROR while running PITR backup: …`

Is PITR backup enabled? Is it a recent one? Do you see any error like " `oplog has insufficient range`" in the pbm logs? If so, you can check whether you have enough oplog window/size or take another base backup to resume PITR backup.

You can provide us with the below output:

```auto
pbm status
pbm logs -sD -t10000 > pbm.log

```

Regards,  
Vinodh Guruji

Thank you for helping with this issue.  
Now, Answering your questions:

1. Is PITR backup enabled?  
NO  
pitr:  
enabled: false
2. No errors like you mentioned `oplog has insufficient range`

I have managed to get rid of that message by running  
pbm config --force-resync
