I have the same problem, generate the backup according to the guide.

```auto
 ./dremio-admin backup -u dremio -p dremio123 -d /tmp/backup

```

Then I started dremio from scratch and uploaded the bkp to the tmp / directory

```auto
./dremio-admin restore -d /tmp/dremio_backup_2021-09-02_19.29

```

_generated error for db / directory not empty._

Then I deleted the directory and rebuilt it with all permissions …

Run the restore again.

```auto
./dremio-admin restore -d /tmp/dremio_backup_2021-09-02_19.29

```

I finish correctly.

Restart pod and it won’t lift, indicates missing .sst

```auto
Can't access /000082.sst: IO error: while stat a file for size: /opt/dremio/data/db/catalog/000082.sst: No such file or directory

```

any option to restore? T\_T
