Thanks for the clear information about the problem.

The "createBackup" feature, which you see in the error message was added to Houdini in version 16.5.185. I just uploaded a fix, which will fix the HDA export for older Houdini versions. To get the fix you can open the Prism Settings and in the miscellaneous tab you can update your Prism version automatically to the latest version from github. After that you should setup the Prism integration again by executing this file: C:\Prism\Win_Setup_Integrations.bat and restart Houdini. I hope that fixes the error for you.
