Cannot write to backup directory - "/" #103

Closed donhardman closed 7 months ago

donhardman commented 7 months ago

When we restore a backup to the root directory, for example, using --backup-dir=/, and there's a file in the state directory, we can't restore it because of an error.

Following an investigation, it was determined that the issue does not lie with the backup itself but rather with how we are preserving the path. Initially, I mistakenly assumed that we could include a .gitkeep file inside the state directory because we map it to the root directory. To address this, I implemented a workaround in the Demo project.

Additionally, during the investigation, I discovered files within the tmp directory that should not be included in the Docker image. Consequently, I created a pull request to address this issue: https://github.com/manticoresoftware/docker/pull/73
