Action restore remote fails if backup is available locally

[DrissiReda]

Running the action restore_remote works perfectly if I start from an empty clickhouse cluster, with backups in my s3 bucket.

But if I run a backup, then a restore I get an error:

backup is already exists

And the restore fails.

Can't the restore_remote action just skip the download and restore the already present backup?

before run restore_remote second time, you need run clickhouse-backup delete local

moreover, use restore_remote --rm <backup_name> if your current database is not empty and contains old invalid data whcih not match with backup data in /var/lib/clickhouse/backups/
