[Freedombox-discuss] Problem restoring from remote backup.

[A. F. Cano]

My production FreedomBox is, thankfully, working just fine.  All this is
done on the backup FreedomBox that started as a bookworm image (since
the apu2 cannot boot the latest UEFI images), upgraded over 36 hours to
the latest stable image and later upgraded on its own to the latest:
25.14.

I just tried to do a full restore from a remote backup.  The backup app
found the remote backups, so the original problem is now fixed (thanks
Sunil) but when I clicked "Restore" on the latest backup it went to work
and restored partially, until I got this:

This might have been a non-fatal error as it appeared that the operation
was continuing.  Various apps were installed and this was visible in the
notifications when doing refresh of the backups page, but then:

plinth.errors.MissingPackageError: janus

Attempting manual instsll says:

This application is currently not available in your distribution.

So it appears that janus is no longer available.  I hope this is a
temporary situation, as I use it regularly.  On my production FreedomBox
it works just fine, but this would probably cause major problems if I
had to restore it.

As it stands now, I cannot complete the restore.  Furthermore, the
internel-to-external zone firewall sules seem not to be working.  I can
not ssh out.  Firewall-cmd shows the permanent policy, but nothing goes
through.  Could this be a result of an incomplete restore?  Now to debug
this?

Is janus coming back? if not, is it possible to make the restore finish
without some missing app?

Thanks.
