Common Troubleshooting
Issue: When I upload the file to restore, I see an error message “Caution: This backup file may not be correctly formatted. Proceed only if you are sure.”
...
This is caused by one of two things:
You renamed your backup and removed the word “backup” from the file name
You are trying to Restore a Bundle or another file
Troubleshooting steps to try in order:
Check to make sure the file is a Backup file - not a Bundle and continue
Issue: My Restore/Backup did not work
...
Do not click the Backup/Bundle/Restore button multiple times
Wait 5 minutes then refresh your browser and check again
Ensure you have the correct permissions - example: you cannot Restore Backups without the Workspace Permission “Admin” (see this article)
