Error on some, not all domains (only 1.3% of subscriptions, 0.46% of domains):
"Stderr is filemng failed: filemng: Error occurred during /usr/bin/base64 command."

After restoration it seems that all data is present. But what exactly is causing this error and what are the consequences?

Hi Peter,
Had exactly the same issue with 2 subscriptions while migrating from a Plesk 12.5.30, CentOS 7.1, 64-Bit server to a Plesk Onyx 17.5, CentOS 7.3, 64-Bit.
Any feedback from Plesk on that?
 
Same here:
Plesk restore report problem:
Execution of /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/backup_restore_helper --restore-subscription <domain> -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1.
Stdin is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
(...)

"Error occurred during /usr/bin/base64 command"
