Error on restore .pwd.lock File exists

[mikeltb]

Hi,

on restore my backup with next command return the error:

proxmox-backup-client restore host/pve01/2020-12-14T18:34:40Z etc.pxar /target/path/ Password for "root@pam": ********* Error: error extracting archive - error at entry ".pwd.lock": failed to create file ".pwd.lock": EEXIST: File exists

I have been able to do a first restore but on the second attempt it returns the error.
Forgive my english
