      This error can be observed for the following entities:

      • UpgradeTaskHistoryAuditLog
      • UpgradeTaskHistory
      • FieldScope
      • FixVersion
      • GlobalCustomFieldProjectAssociation
      • HierarchyLevel
      • IssueComponent
      • IssueList
      • IssueListEntry
      • IssueParentAssociation
      • IssueTypeFieldAssociation
      • IssueTypeHierarchyAssociation
      • ModuleStatus
      • ProjectConfiguration
      • Severity
      • UsernameHistory
      • AdHocUpgradeTaskHistory
      • AffectsVersion
      • AttachmentPanel
      • BaseHierarchyLevel

      Workaround

      1. Extract the backup - you'll have activeobjects.xml, entities.xml and data in the current folder
      2. Execute the following commands: 
        egrep -v "(UpgradeTaskHistoryAuditLog|UpgradeTaskHistory|FieldScope|FixVersion|GlobalCustomFieldProjectAssociation|HierarchyLevel|IssueComponent|IssueList|IssueListEntry|IssueParentAssociation|IssueTypeFieldAssociation|IssueTypeHierarchyAssociation|ModuleStatus|ProjectConfiguration|Severity|UsernameHistory|AdHocUpgradeTaskHistory|AffectsVersion|AttachmentPanel|BaseHierarchyLevel)" entities.xml > entities-purged.xml

mv entities-purged.xml entities.xml ; zip -r FixedBackup.zip entities.xml activeobjects.xml data
