Image-based systems data restore failed

Data restorations are automatic on rpm-ostree systems, but can fail, for example:

  • The only backups that are restored on rpm-ostree systems are backups from the current deployment or a rollback deployment. Backups are not taken on an unhealthy system.

    • Only the latest backups that have corresponding deployments are retained. Outdated backups that do not have a matching deployment are automatically removed.

    • Data is usually not restored from a newer version of MicroShift.

    • Ensure that the data you are restoring follows same versioning pattern as the update path. For example, if the destination version of MicroShift is an older version than the version of the MicroShift data you are currently using, the restoration can fail.
