I tried to restore a backup via the GUI of NextcloudPi. I got the following error message:

What is the cause?
Kind regards,

Looks like you tried to restore a backup on the same day and the restore script uses only the date for temporary directories, which causes a conflict in your case.
To fix your issue, you coud rename the offending directory (e. g. sudo mv /media/myCloudDrive/ncdata/data-2023-05-01/media/myCloudDrive/ncdata/data-2023-05-01-tmp) or wait until tomorrow before running the script again.
I’ll adjust the restore script to use the current time instead of just the date for intermediate directory names, to avoid such issues in the future

Thank you for the quick reply. Ok, I thought here besides the date- also the timestamp is considered. Normally it does not happen that backup and restore take place on the same day. But in the future it would be good if the timestamp is also used.
I will check it tomorrow.
Have made the update to Nextcloudpi version 1.52.0.
And then started a restore from yesterday’s backup. The error still exists: DATA CONFLICT
