"unable to lookup group" in the middle of restore.

[Steve Gavrilles]

For some reason, I keep getting the error "404: Unable to lookup group - notFound", then it goes right back to restoring. 

It never fails at the same point, so I don't think it's an individual message causing the issue. Likewise, it keeps going, so I don't think it's a permanent failure with the service or admin account. 

When the process completes, I can see that the message count is way off. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or a way to make this process complete without error? 

The command I'm using is: 

gyb --action restore-group --service-account --use-admin ad...@domain.com --email gr...@domain.com --local-folder GYB-GMail-Bac...@domain.com

And this is what the terminal window looks like afterwards: 

So it's having issues, then recovering somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bump, same

What's happening is that GYB is calling the API to migrate a message to the group. It works, it works and then randomly Google servers stop accepting the message and claiming the group doesn't exist. GYB doesn't have much choice at that point than to skip that message and move on to the next one.

You can try re-running the migration command again after it finishes, GYB will try migrating those messages that failed because Google said the group doesn't exist again.

ah okay - and to confirm the logs for what has been migrated are the .sqlite files?

[Jay Lee]

Correct. The sqlite file tracks which emails have been migrated.

Perfect , thank you so much

Does it also track ones skipped because of the size limit?

No, failed messages are not logged. Thus on later runs they are retried.

any thoughts? I attempted again this morning to see if it was something temporary but running the same command still gives out
