Comment 6 for bug 332497

Ok. Two comments:

1) When I created a user account with the same login in the live CD environment, then logged in as that user I was able to restore a reasonably sized (<1GB) directory.

2) IMO, a fundamental flaw in your logic is to restore all files to /tmp/deja-dup-${random}/. In my case I have separate '/' and '/home' partitions. As my root partition is 10 GB and my home directory is >200 GB there is no way you can cache all my files (actually only totaling ~40 GB) in /tmp.

In the second case Deja Dup aborts the restore (after quite a while of untaring as many files as it can into /tmp) with the following error:

"Restore destination directory /tmp/deja-dup-NjzY3e already exists.
Will not overwrite."

The error does not at all reflect the actuality of the problem.

I think this is a separate bug, so I will file it as such, and put the bug number in the comments here.
