SE-STA-020: Restore refused

The restore was refused: the Hub is running, the state folder already holds a Hub in use, or the backup was made by a newer Hub.

What it says

SE-STA-020: restore refused: the hub is running, the state directory holds a hub in use, or the backup is from a newer hub

Where you see it

In the terminal, when sudo /usr/local/bin/sehub restore refuses a good backup: "SE-STA-020: <reason>".

What to do

  1. 01If it says the Hub is running, stop it first: sudo systemctl stop sehub.
  2. 02If it says the folder already holds a Hub, add --force to replace it. Devices paired with the Hub that was there must pair again.
  3. 03If it names a newer Hub version, install that version or newer on this box, then restore.
  4. 04Run the restore again.
