I'm agree that this is not an improvement, I used to work with it
because I know it's harmless error messages. The request comes from a
client that claims that replaying his backup on a new server was always
producing those errors.

I was just thinking that cleaning if exists was also harmless, but it is
probably better to have error reported in most of the cases.
