#proxmox-backup-client restore host/test1/2021-05-26T14:32:03Z root.pxar /
Error: error extracting archive - error at entry ".autorelabel": failed to create file ".autorelabel": EEXIST: File exists


May I check is possible to restore the file to the same location? anyone can advise on this error we encountered?

The backup client version: 1.0.11

Thank you.

You need to restore to an empty directory. We currently do not allow to overwrite existing data.

Hi,

I have also tried to restore to a different empty folder, but went to an error as below,

# proxmox-backup-client restore host/test1/2021-05-26T14:32:03Z root.pxar test
Error: error extracting archive - error at entry "": failed to apply directory metadata: failed to apply acls: Error while restoring ACL - ACL invalid

Please advice

Thank you

You need to restore to a filesystem which supports the contained ACLs (that backup contains ACLs).

So I can't have a BIOS-boot partition mounted to /boot for it to write the initramfs from backup into it? Same with /boot/efi I guess? I'd have to restore, rename that folder, mount my boot/uefi partitions, then copy that data into it, for no other reason than it won't write into an empty folder.
