Error recovering backup from synapse

after an update/upgrade using younohost tools update and younohost tools upgrade --apps my matrix/synaptic install stopped.

yo I run on my backupd, I have a daily one of the whole server.
I did put it online, then performed a backup from synaptic
yunohost backup --apps synaptic -n yyyymmdd-matrix-mydomain
from three different dates, including the one before the upgrade.

I have a local copy of each backup so I can come back whenever I need.

Every time I try to recover the backup this is what I obtain, the same cryptography error

I am able to do a fresh install of synapse/matrix but then, I have no clue how to get back on my previous account with the conversations, chats and most important, verified sessions.

thanks in advance

Hi,

It’s looks like the error i had.
I described a workaround to be able to restore the backup here:

Hello and thanks for the tip.

I hadn’t see the first one you comment out

I had already check this one but didn’t work by it self.

then I kept reading on and found

SOLUTION

so the backup was recovered by installing rust from debian

apt install rustc cargo

after that just run the backup restore

yunohost backup restore NAME-OF-YOUR-BACKUP
