Errors-To: obnam-dev-bounces@obnam.org
I recently tried restoring backups of client A on another machine B
using the following command from the obnam documentation.
obnam mount -r /path/to/repository --to ~/restore/
The error message I received was:
ERROR: R24424X: Repository client B does not exist
I had no idea what R24424X was or why obnam would be telling me that
client B didn't exist when I wanted to restore client A (I keep one
client per repository, which may not be a typical use case).
I eventually worked out that I had to use '--client-name A' as an extra
argument to 'obnam mount'. I was wondering if this error message could
be improved by hinting to the user as to which command line option they
need, e.g.
ERROR: R24424X: Repository client B does not exist. If you are restoring
to a different client, try: --client-name [client]
Alternatively, perhaps it might be worth documenting the use of
--client-name in the 'Restoring from backups' section of the manual? I
am happy to improve the docs, but I have no idea where to start with the
code.
Thanks
Paul
