Error: "There was a problem starting the restore"

Issue

When you try to start a cloud file restore or cloud virtualization for a system, you see the message:

"Error - There was a problem starting the restore. Please try again."

Environment

  • Datto Endpoint Backup for PCs
  • Datto Endpoint Backup

Cause

There is a restore of that type that is already mounted for the protected system.

Resolution

You can only have one cloud restore of a given type mounted at a time for systems in the cloud. Remove any existing restores, and then attempt to create the restore again.

If the issue persists, contact Datto Technical Support for assistance.
