certainly for me it is important to restore the applications that ran above… and I see that they have been backed up

2

If the only errors you get is not being able to remove the non-empty directory var/cache/apt, then I don’t see too much of a problem here.

3

so to ensure that the restore is successful just run these commands before doing the restore?

sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt
sudo rm -rf /var/cache

4

Yes, the last one will cover both.

5

or you can try following

/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_software apt-cache clean
apt update && apt upgrade
6

i try the command but not work, i mean the command work but the restore nop
here u can find the log Deleted

7

Is there any command to see the integrity of the backup? or to understand the cause of the failed restore…

8

the restore did not fail totally. At least from the log, it is /var/cache only, which should not much of an issue.

9

The screen on dietpi shows me “failed” I continue anyway… and I see my apps and many systemctl services are not started and there are errors so I restart and it doesn’t start anymore… I connect and I see these problems during the boot phase

root@DietPi:~# dmesg -l 0,1,2,3

[ 3.117322] dw-apb-uart ff180000.serial: Failed to create device link (0x180) with 0-001b

PS. when the restore finishes and it gives me “failed” and I try to do an update and upgrade it gives me “E: Error reading the CPU table”

10

Just to clarify, are you trying to restore the backup from the same SBC (the RockPro64) and the same dietpi version?
Meaning that the only thing that changed was the SD card or even the SD card is the same?
What was the reason for restoring? Some corruption?
Are you certain that the backup is intact?

11

yes, the version was the same as dietpi, and also the kernel, as far as corruption is concerned, I don’t know… are there commands to check?

the restore is done from an external stick where the backup was made… it is always attached to the rockpro

12

You can initiate filesystem checks with dietpi-drive_manager. Select the drive you wanna check and in the next menu there is an option for this.

13

Now I try to restore? I repair

14

Make a copy of the usb stick using dd first, then try anything.
