I tried to initiate the migration from Aeotec Z-Stick 5 to ZWA-2 but failed almost immediately at the very first step.
[+]Aeotec ZW090-C, Z-Stick GEN5+ FW: v1.2 SDK: v6.81.6
zwave-js-ui: 11.0.1
zwave-js: 15.10.0
Navigated to Zwave JS UI - under NVM I selected Backup. However, it fails at 0 or 1% with the following error:

Itried with ZWave JS, and initially with ZWave JS UI.

I reported on HA Core, but got recommandation to report her
