Hello Team,

I created a backup of my DFS database:

# bin/hadoop dfs -copyToLocal /user/root/crawl /mylocaldir

I now want to restore from the backup using:

# bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /mylocaldir/crawl /user/root

However I'm getting the following error:

copyFromLocal: Target /user/root/crawl/crawldb/current/part-00000/.data.crc
already exists

I get this message with every permutation of the command that I've tried, and
even after totally deleting all content in the DFS directories.

I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Many thanks,

Monu Ogbe
