Backup taken on linux, restore on crappy osx.


Description of my issue:

Hello AkeebaBackup Team,

I'm having troubles restoring a backup that contains OSE Webmail client for Joomla. The error message is:

Could not open /Users/me/Sites/something/OSERoundCube/Install/test.php for writing.

I suppose the write permissions are ok because /Users/me/Sites/something/OSERoundCube has been created and contains files.
One thing I've recognized is that there's already a file (not a directory) named /Users/me/Sites/something/OSERoundCube/INSTALL so it seems like it can't create the directory .../Install/ - just a guess though.
Any ideas how to fix this? I.e. how to restore the backup locally?
Thanks for your support.

Hello Nicholas,

thanks for the quick response. The problem was caused by OSX, which uses a case insensitive file system when it is shipped. The restoration worked well after switching the file system to case sensitive. Unfortunately you have to either reinstall OSX or buy a tool called iPartition, wich sets you back 40 Euro but prevents you from reinstalling.
This crappy OSX is just a retarded rip off... But anyway, I just wanted to let you know. Sooner or later someone who tries to restore a backup taken form a Linux system to an OSX system will certainly have the same problem.
Ready to close this case.
