Hello everyone

I'm having a big problem

When I try to restore files (via a web page), the restored files return with 0 bytes/empty.

Accessing the storage location/directory directly, the files are there.

(I haven't found anywhere else with this problem.)

Server: Debian 13.5 Version: minarca-server - 6.2.5 amd64

The only msg/error returned in the logs is:

[rdiffweb.core.restore] rdiff-backup: * Unable to write xattr b'security.NTACL' to path /tmp/rdiff-backup.tmp.1 due to exception '[Errno 1] Operation not permitted', ignoring
[rdiffweb.core.restore] rdiff-backup: WARNING: ACL name progra_m1 not found on system, dropping entry. Further ACL entries dropped with this name will not trigger further warnings

*Some older files (backups made before the update) do not return this error and are restored successfully.

Good news (or almost)

I removed the symbolic link that pointed to:

/opt/rdiff-backup-2.2/rdiff-backup

And redirected it to:

/opt/rdiff-backup-2.0/rdiff-backup

Now I can restore the files.

I hope this helps others!
