This is caused by hidden files that were created by mistake in the postgres database configuration folder. This can be confirmed by looking a few lines above the error in / usr/local/avamar/var/log/dpnctl.log : 2021/10/19-14:09:03 avtar Info <5314>: Command completed (1 warning, exit code 0: success) 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/adminlogpattern.xml 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/customerContactInfo.xml 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/ddr_rest_keystore 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/flush.timestamp 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/init.timestamp 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/mcs_data_dump.sql 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/datastore_v1_0/data.dat 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/datastore_v1_0/freespace.dat 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/datastore_v1_0/header.dat 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/datastore_v1_0/schema.dat 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/datastore_v1_0/ 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/.pg_hba.conf.swo 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/.pg_hba.conf.swp 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/PG_VERSION 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/current_logfiles 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/pg_ident.conf 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/postgresql.auto.conf 2021/10/19-14:09:03 /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
To resolve the issue: 1. Create the file /usr/local/avamar/var/avtar.cmd (or edit it if it already exists). vi /usr/local/avamar/var/avtar.cmd 2. Add the following line to exclude all the hidden files from /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/ --exclude=var/mc/server_data/postgres/data/.* 3. Try another MCS restore: dpnctl start mcs --force_mcs_restore Caution: Once the restore is successful, do not forget to remove the exclude option in avtar.cmd.
