[Urgent] Restore error

Hi
I created a backup from one server and want to restore it on fresh server. I installed the Yunohost on Debian. Copied the backup files to the /home/yunohost.backup/archives and ran the restore command. But it resulted in the following error.

$ sudo yunohost backup restore 20170627-024844
Warning: --hooks is deprecated and will be removed in thefuture. Please use --system instead.
Warning: YunoHost is already installed
Do you really want to restore an already installed system? [y/N]: y

Is this the right way to clone a server to a new fresh server?

Thanks

Hi there,

this is a known issue (though we don’t have a ticket opened for it yet) and happens when archivemount is not installed.

We worked around the issue (on the chat) by creating a dummy archivemount command :

touch /usr/bin/archivemount
chmod +x /usr/bin/archivemount

and attempting the restore again.
