Here is a snippet of the on-screen log while restoring a customer's daily cpbackup (redacted the domains)

First, there is obviously some "proper English" problems with this sentence: "Warning! redacted1.redacted.com requires that be added before it can be, and there is no reference to in the restore file." -- there are missing words, and it just doesn't make any sense.

But... can someone push me in the right direction, to look for why I'd be getting these errors with this account? Any ideas what might not be set up right? Some ghost entries somewhere?

FYI, the restore seemed to work OK, despite the errors.
