Hi team,
I have used a single ISO recovery image as per guide of REDHAT. I have used following settings for creating both rescue and backup data on single iso image. My ISO image file is created successfully of size 6.5 GB. When I try to recover data from this ISO image on another physical server, I get the following error. Please guide what I am missing.

Environment:
RHEL 7.4
Physical Blade Serer Gen 8

Source Host:
[root@localhost rear]# cat /etc/rear/local.conf

OUTPUT=ISO
BACKUP=NETFS
OUTPUT_URL=file:///srv/backup/
BACKUP_URL=iso:///rear
BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE=( '/tmp/' '/dev/shm/' '/home/attiq.rehman/rhel-server-7.3-x86_64-dvd.iso' )
BKUP_MAX_SIZE=3500MB

Target Host:
rear -d -v recover

cat /var/log/rear/rear-localhost.log
Error:
"the workflow restore is not supported in the rear rescue/recovery system"

@attiqmscs004
there is no restore workflow in ReaR so that I cannot imagine
from your error message alone what goes on in your particular case.
Cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
that reads (excerpt):

Attachments, as applicable ("rear -D mkrescue/mkbackup/recover" debug log files)

see also "Debugging issues with Relax-and-Recover" at
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

Is that "another physical server" same hardware as the original system?
If it is different, how exactly is it different?

Apology for typo mistake.
It is recover instead of restore.

rear -v recover

@attiqmscs004 please show us the log file with the error message (preferably in debug mode)

@attiqmscs004 Did you boot from the ISO image on the 2th system?
If no reply received within 2 weeks we will close this issue - ok?
