Akito, now I am getting this again, I was able to unlock it earlier with the commands that you suggested but now it keeps coming back.
This happens right at the beginning of the process.
As the description states, the process successfully finished. So don’t mind the single file not being copied. You don’t even need that one.
No, there is no files transfered to the home folder, besides it would take some time to do that and this happens right at the start of the backup
Do you have Firefox opened during the restoration?
Yes, but I will try without firefox.
Reboot your computer. Once you are in your OS, don’t start anything. No programs, no text files, nothing. Just start the restoration.
Ok Akito, this showed up right at the beginning of the start of backup.
And of course NO files where restored.
diff -q /home/raymond /path/to/backup/home/raymond
Fill the third argument with the path to your backup’s home directory and then run the command. All output returned shows the differences between both directories. No output means, that all content is the same.
Hi.
You have to masquerade spaces in your path with “\”,
e.g.
/my\ backup\ data/home/raymond
or, as @Akito states underneath:
'/my backup data/home/raymond'
That wasn’t the issue. It wasn’t understood that the path I have given in my example had to be replaced with the actual path on the target system.
Also it is just easier to put the path in single quotes, rather than escaping spaces.
FYI
/my\backup\data/home/raymond
does not escape spaces, it escapes the letters b and d.
Instead of
/my\ backup\ data/home/raymond
it is just easier to do the following:
'/my backup data/home/raymond'
Thanks, you’re right.
I corrected it.
I thought that this was the path he wants to restore from (according to the screenshot)…

Then execute the following in the CLI:
