I am currently doing a disaster recovery exercise. I backed up a machine. I then transferred the backed up data to a new machine and deleted the original backup and the machine from which the backup was created. The backup is from an installation running Linux (22.04 LTS), the restore is running Windows 11.
So now I have the backed up, encrypted data and a brand new machine to which I want to restore this data.
An error message appears and the backup is aborted. So far, only 200 of the 400 GB have been restored. I can see why the restore of this particular file fails (illegal file name). But why does this event interfere with the restore process so much?
I cannot restart the restore. The system (downloaded and installed yesterday, I assume a current version) immediately stops at the same point.
I work with the GUI, I donât understand the command line version. The documentation seems incomplete.
Error message:
I am trying to restart the restore with these options:
-- "-mp3/Alben/B/Buena Vista Social Club/Buena Vista Social Club*"
-persist -- "-mp3/Alben/B/Buena Vista Social Club/Buena Vista Social Club*"
-persist -- '-mp3/Alben/B/Buena Vista Social Club/Buena Vista Social Club*'
-persist -- "-mp3\Alben/B\Buena Vista Social Club\Buena Vista Social Club*"
-persist -- -mp3/Alben/B/Buena Vista Social Club/Buena Vista Social Club - Y*
In each case, the restore stops after one second and the following log entries are created.

This is not correct, only about 50% of the data has been restored.
What am I doing wrong?
What is the right way? I just want to let the restore continue so that the rest is restored. I tried the following options, but none of them worked.
How do I make sure the restore continues if a single file fails?
When restarting the restore, how do I make sure that existing data is not overwritten?
Can I have an example of how to set the options in the GUI to exclude two specific paths from the restore, but not the rest of the files?
Why does the restore fail at all? Are typical errors not caught?
Are there any options for the restore process so that the names and paths of the restored data are shown in the log? Currently it says something like this:

This is not very helpful to me.
