The problem seems to be that the download fails (that's indeed a bug). Then you try to extract the partially downloaded backup archive which also fails as expected. Since the partial contents of the installation directory are extracted you try to proceed with the restoration which of course fails as it's missing everything that's needed to actually work.

Temporary workaround:

  • Download the backup archive files from S3 manually and put them in your site's root. 
  • Download Kickstart, extract its ZIP file and upload kickstart.php to your site's root.
  • Run Kickstart from your site's root to extract the backup archive and proceed with the restoration.

I prefer to wait fot the official solution.

Manual procedure is quite clear to me.

This is used by me - when I need to restore production site to TEST site.

I need a most automatic procedure.

Can you tell me when (how many time do you need)Β  a solution will be generally available ?
