The unwritable session page

[Important]Important

This is an optional page and you may not ever see it during your site's restoration. Read below for more information on when it is shown.

BRS needs to save some information between page loads to work properly. This data is stored in files inside the installation/tmp directory of your site during the restoration. These files are named something like storagedata-0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef.dat where 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef is a 32-character string which depends on some site-, browser-, and restoration-specific information.

Depending on your server and the way you extracted the backup archive, the installation/tmp directory may end up being unwritable through PHP. If BRS detects this situation, it will show you the page above.

You can fix the problem by giving the installation/tmp directory 0777 permissions using FTP, SFTP, or your host's control panel's file management interface.
