Description of my issue

I’m trying to restore backups of my raspberry on a VPS.
Backups were made using yunohost backup create ... command.
The backups are 2 months old and my YunoHost was up to date at this time.

After a fresh install of YunoHost on the VPS, I restored the ‘system’ backup : no problem.
But for the apps backup, I have several errors, all different :

  • Backup containing ihatemoney, rainloop, kresus, kanboard, dokuwiki :
Info: Preparing archive for restoration…
Error: Invalid backup archive
  • Backup containing Nextcloud (core only) :
Info: Preparing archive for restoration…

These 3 backups archives look correct though : they contain the info.json and backup.csv files, and the apps dir.

I’m stuck here, so any help is welcome :slightly_smiling_face:
