r2b3 qvm-backup-restore error

[fendi...@gmail.com]

Hello experts,
I have installed r2b3 on 2 machines including qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo-qubes-dom0-r2b3-current-testing because I'm using the Windows based template

Now, I have made a template on machine 1, created a backup command line to an usb disk.

On machine 2 I command line do a qvm-backup-restore and this keeps failing:

Do you want to proceed? [y/N] y
Extracting data: 24.4 GiB to restore
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/restore_PMkqMd/vm-templates/win7-x64-template/..011.hmac'

The file referenced does exist.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Error gone, I rebooted both machines, created new backup and successfully restored it

fendi...@gmail.com:

I just experienced the same problem. I suspect that it occurs when the
total data to be restored (in your case, 24.4 GB) is greater than a
certain size, but I'm not sure why the problem went away for you after
rebooting. For me, the problem persisted across reboots.
