Raspibackup fails restore

[augea]

I'm trying to restore a backup but it fails to restore since partition cannot be created.

Setup:

• Raspberrypi 4 4GB RAM 64bit Rasbian OS Bullseye
• USB Boot from SSD 119 GB
• Backup created on a SD-Card (256GB) located in raspberry SD-slot.

Restore started on a separte Raspberrypi 3 Rasbian OS Buster 32Bit - all updates installed
SSD /dev/sda (not mounted)
SD-Card /dev/sdb (mounted EXT4)

Part of log-file:
`20230901-122502 DBG 5700: --- sourceSDSize: 128035676160 - targetSDSize: 128035676160

Is this a problem of my setup or a software problem?

It's a know issue: sfdisk changed unfortunately the output format from Buster to Bullseye. An additional line with sector-size is added when you create a backup with Bullseye. This additional line creates the error you report when you try to restore the backup with Buster or earlier.

In next release 0.6.9 raspiBackup will detect this mismatch and delete the additional line.

But for now you have to either use a Bullseye OS to restore the backup or temporarily delete the additional line sector-size in the .sfdisk file in the backup directory 😉

Restore was now successful. You saved my day! 😃
