This issue sounds very similar to this one I brought up in 2014: https://www.spinics.net/lists/ecryptfs/msg00567.html I never got to the bottom of why it was occurring - but did look at the kernel code at the time to see what was going on but I cannot recall what I found out.

So maybe we'd need to look at the server's mod_sftp log files to see what's going on here..? Note: Hetzner appears to support many other backup mechanisms[0], including BorgBackup, that may be something to look into. Christian.
