- Issue of the topic: Restore of configuration doesn’t seems to work
In the process of debugging the out of memory error I am trying to set-up a second machine with the same configuration to exclude the configuration I’ve created is causing the issue.
So, took my old RPI3 and took the latest openhabian 1.7.1 release. Installation works perfect 
On the ‘old’ (up to date) machine created a fresh backup and try to restore it on the new machine. But after restoring the backup openhab doesn’t startup anymore.
The openhabian-config tool is creating an error the restore is incorrect. Following the debug guide and set the debugmode=maximum in /etc/openhabian.conf.

Has this problem something to do with the buster to bullseye change as default change?
I was trying to exclude this by trying to install buster as OS, but setting osrelease=buster in the /boot/openhabian.conf wasn’t successful. At least cat /etc/os-release is showing the output:
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"

Anybody any clue?
Restoring an empty backup from solves the error again. Does this mean my back-up is corrupt?
