Hey there! I appreciate the help! 

Ive been trying to restore a users emails to a group with no luck. We have a user for example sales that all shares one email. We want to migrate this to a group but keep the email. First I run the back up : 

/gyb --email 'email' --action backup --service-account --local-folder "/Users/Path"     

Once the back up is run I create a new google group with a different name/email and run: 

gyb --action restore-group --email "new-email" --service-account --use-admin "my email"  --local-folder "/Users/path"                       

It was working good except when I get to users with a lot of emails like 10K + I let it run over night with my computer on, and connected what not I always come back to it saying "404: Unable to lookup group - notFound

 - Giving up.

restoring message 15376 of 20284 from 2023-01-04 10:58:16                       

404: Unable to lookup group - notFound

 - Giving up.

restoring message 17829 of 20284 from 2022-07-07 15:05:15                       

404: Unable to lookup group - notFound

 - Giving up."

Normally three times then its ended the process. Please help as I dont want to restore again for the 20th time! Thank you so much!
