I am unable to restore a set of data - each attempt made is met with the error: “ERROR RESTORE_MKDIR Failed to create the preference directory: mkdir /media/.duplicacy: permission denied”

The user data path is set to read/write.

I am an idiot. I figured out that what I was doing wrong was trying to restore to a symlink? not sure why it shows the way it does but what i needed to so was browse through the mounts root to where the files actually belong. ( mnt/user/media )

Maybe this will help someone else in the future?
