How to restore backup using Restic Program

If I’m reading this right… you already made a backup using EaseUS Todo Backup and are trying to restore it with Restic?

To clarify… did you backup the EaseUS backup file with Restic? And then you’re restoring the EaseUS backup file with Restic, then restoring the EaseUS backup file with EaseUS Todo Backup?

Cause Restic definitely can’t read and restore EaseUS Todo Backup files directly. It could totally store a backup of the backup, then restore the backup file itself - but it can’t extract the EaseUS Todo Backup file. Likely the only program that can do that is EaseUS Todo Backup. The two backup programs are not interchangeable.

Also… what “error” is it showing? Is there a specific reason you’re trying to use Restic for this?

EDIT: Wait. Just noticed the banner. “Looks like affiliate spam. The first post of jackhicks121 was a copy & paste of a 3 years old post” - I think we got duped, fellas.

EDIT2: Hmm the only post I’m seeing about EaseUS is this one, so… maybe the spam filter is being overzealous. Unless it has a database of previously removed posts, assuming it was previously recognized as spam?
