Clout-Init Drive Prevents Restore

[douglasg14b]

I am unable to restore VMs that have cloud-init drives in 6.3-2. These are being backed up to a CIFS share, and restored to an NFS share.

Log entry when I try this:

Any suggestions or solutions? It's somewhat problematic that VM backups cannot be restored...

I am having the same problem... is there a solution? Can I remove the cloud-init drive cleanly? Can I restore including the cloud-init drive?
