restore of an existing client "fails"

Closed this issue · 1 comments

When doing a restore, nodes are overridden. clients are not. It warns that the client already exists but does not restore the previous data.

Say, a client is recreated but I want to revert to the backup. Sure, I can delete the client and then restore but it would easier if the restore deleted it and then recreated it. Or do an api.put() if the api.post() fails

This is a known limitation documented in the Readme: currently it is not possible to overwritte a client object already available on the target server and these will be skipped.
